Customs

Bryan is working on getting the container-load of building materials through customs. We are working with one of the senators who is helping us to make this happen without having to pay the normal exhorbitant taxes Haiti places on importation. There are materials enough to help about 1,500 families if the materials are used for individual homes. Your donations allowed those materials to be purchased and shipped. Thank you so much for supporting these efforts to get our brothers and sisters under cover.

There is discussion among the Haitian believers whether to concentrate on repairing one central church in a completely devastated area so the the whole community could take shelter while individual homes are built. We will have to wait to see how the people want to proceed with reconstruction.

Also, people interested in going on a trip to Jeremie to help with construction or plug into the hospital or the orphanages should contact us about dates. Due to the recent political upheaval in the Gran d'Anse province, we are waiting until things calm down in Jeremie to bring teams. But we can keep you posted as the dust clears.
