So it is going to take lots of posts to fully explain why I am moving to Haiti, but for anyone who wants to know what I am doing there-- here it is-
I am moving soon to Jubilee Blanc- an area of Gonaives, Haiti. My last trip to Haiti I worked with some wonderful people who have started a school there. I am going to be teaching math to five and six year olds, as well as possibly help oversee other operations of the school. They are starting with one grade level and will add a new one each year. I also hope to help keep track of the health of the students and be involved with medical clinics in the area. My main goal is to love on these kids and the people of this community. My prayer is that we can raise up educated, empowered young people who can then in turn help their entire community. And more than math skills, I hope to impart to these children foundations of love, responsibility, integrity and faith in Jesus Christ.
We are still working out all the details, but as of now I hope to be staying at the school in Jubilee- which is so exciting for me- because it means I will really be in community with the people I am serving. That is one of the things I am most excited about- just doing life there. It is one thing to visit a place, and a whole other to make it your home. I am just so excited to see all the Lord has planned with this!!
