First Day of School

I am thrilled to announce that today is our first day of sewing classes! We have 2 teachers, 3 women and 7 men in the class. We found out that tailors are in high demand in Port-de-Paix so we hope to turn out a few more!

The class is divided into to two groups. One group comes from 7- 9am. The other group from 9-11am. To be fair, they will switch times every other day.

It has been so exciting to watch this ministry unfold over the past year. God has been faithful, and all the credit goes to Him. As the Haitians say, "Bondye bon," which means, "God is good!"

I'd like to extend a special thank you to everyone who has prayed and financially supported this ministry. We are still looking to cover the cost of (4) of the machines and supplies. If you'd like to help us, please visit our Donate page to learn more.

You are Loved: The Story of Waves of Mercy

Here's a beautiful video about the Haiti 323 Project's mission partner, Waves of Mercy. The video features Larry and Diana Owen, Pastor Handson, and Larison. These are some of the most Godly people I know. You can just see God's love and light shine through them. I am so blessed to call them my friends, and I could not have asked for a better partner for this ministry.

It's all coming together

The project is really starting to come together! We've secured the rooms, hired the teachers, and purchased the sewing machines. This past week we selected the students. There were 22 applicants for the sewing school. The applicants were required to take an entrance exam that our teachers prepared. Our first sewing program students will consist of three women and seven men. There is a need for tailors in Port-de-Paix, so we're excited to help train some new tailors for the area. When school stats, there will be an afternoon and morning school. The morning school will start at 7am, and the students will spend one hour learning the process, and two hours on the machines. We're excited to meet our new students! Photos to come!
