The community came together to move the school to the new land! With limited building supplies, they dismantled the school, moved it, and put it back together - only some of the wood was not fit to be put back, so there were no walls between the classrooms. We were able to send some funds to remedy that situation! However, more work is needed to secure the buildings to make them structurally sound.

Thanks to the Rotary Clubs of Concordville-Chadds Ford, Media, Chester and Twin Valley, Rotary District 7450 and Reach Global, a well has been drilled on the land! The well was deeper than is typical in Haiti, but the water is sweet! The next step is to install a pump. Options are being carefully considered for this - because the well is so deep, the anticipated hand pump will not work. The well will serve not only the school, but water will be made available to an entire community who now walk several miles for fresh water.

Although our focus is the Community School of Bellevue, when we are able to help other local organizations who help children, we do. We were fortunate to be able to help the Family of Faith ministry support a family getting back on it's feet, Haiti Health Ministries provide prenatal vitamins, and Nativity de Notre Dame Orphanage provide food for the children.
