I've returned to Haiti...safe and sound! I thank the Lord for a taxi driver named Jose who got me to the Dajabon/Ouanaminthe border before the D.R. border closed so I could cross after traveling for 14 hours at that point. Ah - but Haiti decided to close early for no apparent reason other than it's Haiti, therefore across the border by foot I went, after seeing the familiar faces of Jerry and Jean-Gardy - a very welcome sight! We walked across with two haitian young men carrying my two bags each weighing 50 pounds. They carried them on their heads as if they were carrying something much, much lighter - like a feather - amazing!
The school year has begun! Tomorrow is the cut off for students to arrive and we still have 75 students MIA (missing in action - registered but haven't yet decided to come to school). We will see who comes "drifting in" tomorrow. The administration and our returned graduates surely are excited for the new school year. I have a new office with Emmanuel and Marie-Claire and we are having a blast together!
All for now - it's been a very busy two days since returning Good night, and God bless you all!
Love,
Marylee
Purpose of this blog
Personal missionary work as a coordinator for the college students who graduated from Institution Univers in Ouanaminthe, HAITI.
I act as a liaison for those currently in college and their sponsors, until the students have all graduated, whether in USA, Haiti or the Dominican Republic.
As well, I encourage those who have graduated from college but have not yet returned to Haiti, to return to fulfill the purpose of their education, for themselves, their families, their country and most importantly, for God.
