LaJeune

Tomorrow morning we head to LaJeune. Leaving here about 7:00. 3 hour drive to the border of Haiti and then a 20 minute flight in a small plane over the mountains to Pijon. We'll be staying in LaJeune, about 20 minutes from Pijon but the work is actually in Pijon. So we'll be doing the short trips to and from the site each day. So looking forward to seeing our friends that we've come to know over the last 6 trips. We're all encouraged and ready to go. God is so good!!!!

WE'RE OFF!!!!

The Highview to Haiti team (Colin Chandler, Starr Lofonco, Matt Lofronco, Poppy Barrett, Brian Ogilvie & Keith Weatherall) is on its way to visit our friends in Haiti. This will be the 6th adventure for various groups from Highview and associated friends. This year we’re starting to build a wall. A wall that will break down barriers, create a new school, and provide housing and safety for many of the marginalized seniors of Haiti. Lots of dirty work coming our way. We can’t wait!!!! As always we appreciate, covet, your prayers. We’ll try to keep you up-to-date as much as possible.”

The footings have been dug and started in Pignon, ready to have bricks assembled and placed for the block wall.
