Wow it has been a while since my last post. February has been a crazy month and it is only the 19th. We survived Snowmageddon 2012 with only 3.5 days without power, the boys loved it, all four of us. Wind storms have come and gone and the tree damage is extensive but nothing hit the house or structure in ManLand, phew! Lacrosse, Soccer and 4-H have started up already for the boys, and fair season is approaching. We finally got the generator hooked up to the house now that the weather has passed, although there was a dusting of what looked like snow on my car this morning as I left for work.
A quick update on Haiti:
Tomorrow I leave for Haiti. This will be my fourth trip to Dessalines and my third trip to the mountains of Kawo. Cheryl and the boys will be at home this time. The mountain schoolhouse/church is at 19 degrees 11'19.91" North and 72 degrees 22'29.60 West, look it up on Google Earth. We are roughly 10 miles up in the hills from the Dessalines church building in NanWo. We will be documenting the kids and giving them fluoride, providing an OB clinic for all the local midwives, and setting up an impromptu clinic for any other needs we will encounter. The team will be surveying the initial construction of the foundation for the new school rooms just to the west of the main structure. It will be an amazing time for us all. Please feel free to stay updated by going to HopeInHaiti.org for daily updates.
Blessing to you all,
Tony
P.S. I will post pictures and links from the trip when I return in March.
