Giving poor communities a boost
In dozens of rural southern Haiti villages, with names like Abricot, Flamond, Mahotiere, Plaisance, and Basilaise, you'll see a church and a school building occupy the most prominent place in the community.
These buildings are not like what Americans would expect, but basic structures without plumbing, and most without electricity, windows or floor coverings. These communities have worked to build a foundation and concrete block walls, and then rely on World Relief work teams to construct the roof.
As a result of these efforts, many Haitian children have the opportunity to get a basic education, a privilege out of reach for many families in that poor country. Also, the enthusiasm and joy of the Haitian people is palpable as they gather on Sunday morning to worship in their churches.
