HAITI Team Leaves Early Friday

Hayes Barton's second team to Haiti since the earthquake will leave from the church at 4:30am tomorrow (Friday) morning. We have a packed agenda of work at St. Joe's...a day trip to Wings of Hope where the mentally and physically disabled kids live...an overnight to Jacmel to visit the boys of Trinity House and the children in Lekol Sen Trinitie day school... and a day trip to the Blanchard School, a Stop Hunger Now partner, in downtown Port-au-Prince.

Perhaps even more packed than our schedule are our bags! At last check our bags were brimming with...

-- 100 health kits

-- 29 pairs of shoes

-- 75 pairs of socks

-- 38 backpacks stuff with school supplies

-- Numerous tools (drills, grinders, blades, bits...)

-- 2 boxes of English as a Second Language study materials

-- 100 glow-necklaces

-- 300+ beanie babies for each kid to have a small token of affection

-- 100 quick-dry T-shirts

-- 40 color-coded bells to play music with the Wings kids

-- 100 glow-in-the-dark "Resurrection from the Rubble" silicone bracelets

-- 8 cans of shaving cream, 3 capes and tongue depressors to play a "barbershop relay" with the boys

-- 3 loaves of bread and 3 bottles of Welchs for daily communion

We trust your prayers will go with us as well!
