Soon we’ll be in Canada! We are looking forward to see many of our, family, friends, supporters, and those whom we haven’t met. We are excited and have tons of stories to share with you.
It’s been a great year for us here in Haiti. We are more than happy to have had the chance to spend this year observing and learning so much about the culture. We have seen and talked to many missionaries, NGOs, and many other social AID programs. Our knowledge of how to help not only for short but also long-term has increased significantly. We can’t say we know everything because we don’t but we know for a fact that we are better equipped and are committed to live full-time in Haiti. It wont be easy but God wants us to be here.
Few things that I’ve learned this year:
1. 66% of the population are farmers but they contribute less than 25-26% to the economy
2. People in Haiti are extremely helpful, generous, and friendly
3. Haiti has some of the most beautiful views
4. Many young people want to know how they can help to stop deforestation
5. Providing cooking fuels, stoves, etc.. will not solve the tree cutting problem
6. It is more realistic to teach people how to make charcoals more responsibly
7. Most people who runs away from Haiti to a different country actually love Haiti
I would love to speak with you while I am in Canada, I would love to share my vision with you. I pray that the Lord will lead us to see each other.
