Tues June 15 and all is well here at Hope House. We have just finished our little devotional time which included a brief history of VOH and Lazarus Project and a very thought provoking reading from Lisa. It has been a long day...we were up and at em by 5-5:30 and folks are now ready for a nice cool shower and a restful night's sleep. By far this team has done the most to stimulate the economy in Croix des Bouquets at the Metal Workers artisan shops and thus they have earned their nickname as the "Shop til you Drop" team. I can ensure you that they earned their shopping time after a hard morning's work at the school. Bathroom doors were readjusted, the dining room was painted and the lovely cross created several summers ago by Marni and the enrichment class got moved to a more prominent spot, so that we can enjoy the beauty and sentiment of the artwork as we have our various services and activities in the chapel. Oh yes and several bags of garbage were collected along the entrance road and main gate...I still gotta work on those students in regards to protecting the environment and waste disposal. It is an up hill battle but one worth fighting for.



Below is a picture of the team .....notice them all beaming....they knew that shopping time was coming! ....only kidding!!!...they were happy for the work they accomplished in the AM and the chance to have been able to interact with the kids at the school. ...sorry picture will come tomorrow..having problems uploading this evening.

a demain,

Debbie
