Mid-Week Update












I am posting an update on behalf of the group since I was the first to return to the U.S. Despite the chaos and devastation occurring in Haiti, the Reach Out program is going exceptionally well. We did not even realize that the earthquake had occurred until we had been contacted from home about our well being. When the group left me at the airport this morning, they were on their way to the Child Development Center in San Pedro to continue work begun the afternoon before. Both Monday and Tuesday went well in regards to working with the staff and children at the Child Development Centers. The students are doing an amazing job adapting in their new environment and interacting with the children. The staff from Nazarene Compassionate Ministries has been incredibly receptive and hospitable to us. I am confident that the students will continue to do an excellent job this week as their journey continues. Sincerely, Mary Burnett, Director of International Programs at Ship
