The news coming out of Haiti has been hard to hear the past few weeks. We have been in contact with Leon Dorleans, who continues to be in the United States visiting churches, and Troy Sanon, the Executive Director of MICECC, who is in Haiti.
Troy says, “Haiti has been tough. Yes, all the news you heard about Haiti is true. Moving around has been difficult in the country, and internet connection is very weak. Some of our programs are still in operation, such as the school and the MASTAS community health project in Repatriote. We face a lot of challenges, and we have a lot of restrictions. I am in constant contact with the team. Everyone is scared but very motivated despite the situation in the country. Please keep us in your prayers. Shalom!”
Leon is in contact with Jacky and Troy regularly. He confirms that the primary school at Repatriote meets everyday and the MASTAS health workers are able to work in the community. Leon said our other three schools and the health clinic are open most days, when it is safe to do so. The water distribution systems are also open serving the communities.
The news about Haiti is troubling, but our dedicated staff in Haiti are working hard, as safely as they can to support and care for one another. Thank you for your prayers for Haiti.
