On the home stretch in Haiti - Patrick's home on Sunday

Some of the team of assessors that Patrick is training. It includes how to use GPS, polling the people living in shelters within the camps and general logistics.


Patrick was out doing assessments today with a team that included 12 Haitians and a couple of counsellors. They were to check out a IDP camp in a small town. When they got there, they found no camp, just destruction. Pat was ready to head back when at the last moment, he did a quick walk through the area and stepped into an incredible opportunity to reach out. He met a local man named Charles who showed the team his people and introduced them to 2 elderly ladies who lived in tiny shelters with nothing but blankets and a few nic-nacs. This community cares for these two ladies and the team prayed with them. The beauty and innocence of these seniors touched Pat's heart immensely.







The frame for a water filtration system.

Many hands working together to put the water system together.


Completion! Celebration!


Clean drinking water. A necessity and right for all.




Patrick designed this latrine that will be mass produced at the S.P. compound. (No toilet seats). 500 of these structures will be trucked to different IDP camps where the assembly can be completed on site.
