Chaos and Blessings
As many of you have heard our site in Jacmel, Haiti was robbed early in the morning on November 19th.
We are grateful that nothing like this has previously happened in the seven years that we have been in the area. Yet, after a series of robberies that had happened throughout Jacmel we were not surprised that they had come to our site, however, there is still no way to prepare for an event like that. Through the Lords grace, mercy, and protection our staff and children were not physically harmed. However, our staff and children did have to move to a temporary location until security can be increased in Jacmel. Our top priority is that everyone remains safe while recovering from this event. Our team and children have been moved, and the kids are loving hanging out with some new friends, the Lord is truly deepening and nurturing relationships despite this chaotic event. Even though we were lucky enough to come out uninjured the thieves did take a large amount of cash and electronics, we now need to replace what was taken as well as cover the costs of the emergency building that was put up in a short couple of days. Thank you to everyone who has already made a donation, trust that it has helped us on the recovery road! If you feel you are able to donate to help us replace these items or cover the costs of the temporary buildings please visit our GIVE NOW page and make a donation. More importantly, please remember our staff and children in your prayers, that this transition will continue to go smoothly and that the children will not get homesick until we are able to move them back home.
