July 12, 2012 - Bois Negresse, Haiti
A StarTeam of four men from Calvary Baptist Church, Ellinwood Kansas has completed the structural improvements to the roof of the new school building in Bois Negresse, Haiti. The team arrived on site on Monday and in just 3 days installed more than 500 hurricane ties to reinforce the roof preventing damage from wind.
In addition to the work that was accomplished, they had time to introduce the children in the area to 'frisbees'. As a former team member said, "You haven't lived until you have dozens of firsbees flying at you at once!"
The team was able to paricipate in two Bible teaching classes where the team shared their testimonies. The children were especially intrigued by the ballon animals one of the team members made. They also walked through the surrounding communities to meet familes and visit the farms.
Tony Boursiquot, Star of Hope Haiti Program Manager reported:
"As usual It is a very fruitful mission work that this team has accomplished in Bois negresse. Population are very satisfied of the work has been done and the relationship build up with the team and experience that they share together with the team. They come back from bois negresse today but star of hope Haiti decided to let them spend the last night in Haiti in a beach Hotel for good resting and relaxing time before they go back home tomorrow. I will pick them up around 1;00 Pm at the hotel straight to airport."
