Summited by Larry Madole
Our trip was June 8-15 Larry Farrell, John Hocker, Larry Madole from Iowa and Herb Sikkink from Minnesota went to Haiti.
We had to stay over in Port so we used our time there to visit two places. One was Food for the Poor. This was a great opportunity to see this organization first hand and how they are feeding thousands of people in Haiti. We also visited Haytrack, a John Deere dealer that Larry Farrell had worked with in the U.S. We had a wonderful visit and made great contact for future equipment that we may want to purchase for the mission.
When we arrive in Pignon early the next morning, Gevy and a driver were at the airport to meet us. For all of us, it was like we were back home. We immediately got to work on the project at hand, which was to build a septic system for the new library.
We hired Haitians to dig and lay black for the tank. We also were able to set the stools and sinks and complete the water pipes to the bath rooms. We also put up lights.
On Saturday we went to the market to see the market and meet people. We had two days of heavy rain. The water was running two feet deep in front of the library. We were able to complete the tank and do some smaller things at the Iowa house to get ready for the new missionary family that arrived two days after we left. It was a good trip.
May all the praise be to our Lord.
In His Name,Larry Madole
