Pastor Norm was anxious to buy items from the street vendors who line the city streets. These photos are taken on the main street just outside the school wall. Permission is needed to take the photo but when you purchase their merchandise, permission is always granted, especially when you pay a little extra for the photo. Good business people. The product on the left is plantain and sugar cane on the other pictures. I have not yet purchased either of these products. This is the way many of the local Haitians make their daily living.

The day before my birthday, the Van Dams invited the school staff to celebrate God's goodness in my life with cake and ice cream and pop. That was a special treat - the fellowship together. The students the next day sang happy birthday at the Elementary School chapel which we have each Thursday morning. Two of the classes made personalized birthday cards. Pastor Norm and Valerie also brought birthday cards created by students from Scugog Christian School. Thanks for the greetings and encouragement by your participation in our ministry.
