On Mondays, Mary is the school nurse. Some students arrive at Quisqueya at approximately 7 A.M. for a 8 A.M. school start. At times, she has patients even before school starts :-) Here she is looking at the arm of Malieke Van Dam, a student in grade two. The last students leave the school grounds between 5 and 6 P.M.

This past week, three men from from Searchlight Ministries visited Haiti to see how their new organization Son-Beam Inc can help the churches via building programs working through existing organizations. We fellowshipped together at the Van Dam house. Pictured here from left to right are Steve Windemuller, Stan Drenth, Luis Pellecer (Latin American Program Director of CRWM) talking with Ad de Blaeij who works for Sous Espwa.

This past Saturday was Beautification Day at Quisqueya Christian School. Students and teachers came together to plant flowers, clean closets, paint basketball lines and more. We were treated by a pizza lunch hosted by the student council. Pictured here are some students carrying a wheel barrow since they 'lost' the front wheel. They were carrying topsoil to the flower bed:-)

I praise God for technology. The Internet keeps Mary and I in touch with our family and our church in Port Perry. it is just super that I can hear Pastor Norm preach in Haiti via the internet at http://nsennema.wordpress.com and even post my thoughts regarding the text he will preaching on the following Sunday. Pictured here is my daughter Janis with her dog Tigger, 'running' him through an agility course . It is a real blessing to be in touch.
