Facing Darkness Official Trailer
Now that this movie has been released on a limited theatre experience (I got to see it this past Monday night) I highly recommend you look for it online or a movie media app such as Netflix - SEE IT! Worth every minute of film.
Love,
Marylee

Heading back to Haiti for the first trip of 2017
I guess I was excited to get back to Haiti, when I had the first of two duffels of supplies packed and ready to go by January 12, when I wasn't leaving for Florida until January 26!
I'm now in Florida visiting with my Mom until I depart for Miami and then fly to Cap Haitien on February 1. I wanted to be with her on what would have been my parent's 67th wedding anniversary. It is the first one without my Dad here, so I was glad that the timing of my return to Haiti could coincide with their anniversary. Many of you ask how she is doing. She is taking one step at a time, keeping herself involved with church and social activities. I am glad that, more than once, she has expressed that she can't believe how fast the day goes by - "where does the time go", Mom says. Personally, I think that is a blessing from God!
Last night we were able to attend a mission dinner and presentation at Covenant Church where she attends, and what a blessing that was! I met two missionaries serving Haitiens; one from an orphanage near Les Cayes and the other missionary is a Haitian serving the Haitian community in New York City. There were amazing stories from the Covenant Church supported missionaries from all over the world - locally from Naples, to Homestead, Fl, Orlando, India, and Afghanistan. It is so exciting to hear all that God is doing - all over the world!
As I return to Haiti, I look forward to first meeting with Emmanuel to get caught up on all the "going-on's" since I was last there. Then we will map out the tasks needed to be accomplished to get Hebert to college in Port au Paix in the Fall, Jamescy to college...soon, and work on colleges in Haiti for Rose Mica, Willens and Kensy. We still need financial sponsorship for the latter three upcoming graduates.
It is also time to begin planning for the Univers Top Scholar English Immersion Program 2017. Will you consider hosting and/or financially sponsoring a student for a week or more between late July to late August? Please contact me as soon as possible, if you or someone you know if interested! We need hosts and sponsors!
Please share with me your prayer requests! I want to pray for my readers!
Much Love,
Marylee

An immediate need to fulfill please!
Emmanuel Joseph, who is one of the Univers returned grads, who I work with in the Graduate Placement Department at Institution Univers is in need of a RELIABLE laptop. His laptop currently works when it wants to.
A Gently-used laptop computer, in excellent-working condition would be wonderful, or a new one is even better, of course!
If you are able to help us out please let me know as soon as possible. I can take it with me in January, when I return to Univers.
Thank you very much for considering to help us in this important way.

Update on the Haitian Presidential Election
The State Department has revised the Travel Alert last updated on June 10, 2016, concerning the presidential election period in light of the announcement by Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council of a new election calendar, revised due to Hurricane Matthew, with a first round of elections now scheduled for November 20, 2016, and a second round scheduled for January 29, 2017. This new electoral calendar aims to have an elected president installed by the end of February 2017. This Travel Alert expires on March 31, 2017.
Haiti's unfinished presidential electoral process has made the political and security environment more uncertain, with possible demonstrations causing disruption to traffic and access to key locations in Port-au-Prince.
Tensions remain high and we urge U.S. citizens to exercise caution and remain abreast of the security situation as the electoral process progresses. In addition to the dates mentioned above, possible points when demonstrations could occur include February 7, 2017, the date many hold that the Haitian constitution requires a president to be inaugurated, and the dates on which provisional and definitive results of the above-mentioned election rounds are announced.
During elections, restrictions on traffic circulation, either imposed by the authorities or caused by political rallies may be expected. As a general matter of emergency preparedness, U.S. citizens should maintain adequate supplies of food, water, essential medicines, and other supplies that will allow them to shelter in place for at least 72 hours.
U.S. citizens should monitor local media for any changes in the election schedule. The U.S. Embassy may update this Travel Alert as the schedule or circumstances change.
