The past year has been such a roller coaster. So many things have changed about life- for Haiti, for America, for the world. We have adjusted and created a “new normal” so many times that I’m not sure exactly what “normal” is anymore except that it’s not normal. Everything feels like it is in a…

This week we went to visit John and Juna Jean and Kenny and Jonas. John Jean is 5 years old in Kindergarten and his sister Juna is about to be 3. They have a sweet family who are very involved in church and the mom works for us often at the school. Mom is participating…

Wow! I can’t believe we are already into the new year. We got busy with school and the holidays and time has gone by. Jeff and I were ready to get back into family visits and our first one in a while was great! We got to visit two of our kids and saw some…

Jeff and I set out this last Friday excited to do another home visit. I didn’t say this last week but home visits were not actually my idea. After praying this summer for direction, Jeff and I both felt we wanted to do something to reach out to the families of our students, and we…

I am a terrible blogger, I love to read, but I hate to write! Occasionally, though, there are things that are worth writing about. We are starting a new program at Hope Rising Christian Academy- Family Fridays! Every Friday our principal, Jeff Altea, and I are visiting the families of some of our 100 school…
