Greetings!
  
This has been a crazy week. Arrived home from Florida late Sunday afternoon. Unpacked the van and trailer on Monday - and read my mail. A summons to jury duty! So I spent the next two days trying to decide if a guy was dealing drugs or not. Now it's time to rush around and get ready to go back to Haiti.

Mother 
Mom's home with us here in Marion. Most everything is unpacked except some things for her desk. Computer and email are set up. And she has a new phone, 765-517-3612. She's quite a trooper at 95. Helped sort most of her things and pack before she and Pat flew up. I followed with the van and a trailer.

 

Building A House 
Venal's House  
I promised you pictures of our Adopt a Home work team. That was quite a week. Lot's of hard, hot work but a very rewarding experience for everyone. Venal Noel, who works at Radio Lumière, is a single mom with three teenage kids.



 
Ongoing Renovation 
Re-insulating Windows
Meanwhile back at the studios Helmut Menzel and three other volunteers from Germany were hard at work building sound absorbers and re-insulating windows. This is all part of the studio renovation and digitization project.
Strategic Planning
I head back to Haiti next Wednesday. One of the important activities I will be involved in this time is strategic planning. The General Director and department directors will be spending two days offsite. We will be discussing everything from programming strategy to fund raising and cost cutting. Pray God will give us wisdom and new ideas to make Radio Lumière even better in the months and years to come.
Sincerely,
