Strong Rock Christian School has partnered with Verité Christian Mission this past week for their second trip with us. The mission was to build two houses for families that had met calamity. One had first been damaged by the earthquake of 2010, then finished off by the hurricane last year. The other house had burned. These houses belong to two families associated with the school that we support.
It's been a great week! Travel has been safe, bodies have remained healthy, and the work has been done! The two houses were completed to the desired point. Remaining items can be completed by the Haitian people, as planned.
Also this week, Strong Rock students and Haitian students have interacted one-on-one, learning English and Creole, working side-by-side, and getting to know each other in general. This was done in the previous Strong Rock trip, and then and now it has proven to be a great success.
The last day was reserved for a field trip, also something that had been enjoyed on the previous trip. There was a visit to a historical museum where both American and Haitian students were able to learn a lot about the history and culture of Haiti. There was also time for eating and fun.
