What is the process of sending mail? Check out the post called “Sending Mail” for an in-depth explanation.
Where is Otis? Otis stays at home while I am visiting in the states.
What is the food for the hot lunch program? We use manna packs from feed my starving children. Check out the website for more info: fmsc.org
Wait…you aren’t teaching anymore? No, I am not currently teaching. I transitioned to my new job in the spring/summer of 2020. I am working in RMI’s child sponsorship program, Hope for Kidz. I am still teaching some as I am teaching three levels of English among our staff.
How can I get a prayer card? Let me know that you want one! If I am in the states I can try and bring one to you and if not I can mail you one!
Do you have electricity and running water? I do have both of these things. Our water is on a schedule so we don’t have it 24/7. Most Haitians have neither.
Is the water safe? The water on our compound is treated so it comes out of the faucet safe. Most people don’t have this privilege but can purchase safe water. We do put in water filtration systems from time to time.
How can I get a team down with RMI? Go to our website at rmibridge.org
What was your hardest transition? Originally it was moving straight from my moms house to a different country. It has now become culture shock both entering Haiti and the US.
Do people have access to medical care? Yes and no. There are places but a lot of people cannot afford it. Medical care is not up to our standards but is still available.
What are the requirements to enter and leave Haiti? As I am writing this, you must have a negative COVID test for both. This could very well change even before this is published!
Are people receptive to hearing God’s word? Yes!
What is it like to talk to the kids? Kids are kids! There is certainly a different language and culture but kids just want to be loved on.
As a population, can people read and write? It all depends on the area that people grow up in and how much money their family has unless they are blessed with a child sponsorship program.
Love You to Haiti and Back
