35,000 pounds of cinder blocks "schlepped" (carried/lifted/moved/moved again). . . .17 tons, with the FUMC crew handling about half of that
38 kids in the Gebeau orphanage all taking turns "helping" to paint their digs, enjoying a rare party and sing-along lead by Scott, and all wanting to be adopted by Mixie!
12 intrepid FUMC members for whom no day was too full, and no imperative was left to later relief teams
2 Detroit-area hospitals (Beaumont, St. Joe's) who contributed laptops for John Wesley College, Gebeau Clinic, the orphanage, and the Jeremie Methodist Church office (our host this week).
1 Detroit-area hospital (St. John's) who contributed over 100 gallons of medicines for the Gebeau Clinic. . .who began dispensing vitamins the minute they were unpacked.
1500 Christmas cards purchased by FUMC members, in part making all of the smiles possible.
1 giving and supportive FUMC Missions leadership team, who made this FUMC Haiti Relief trip the success it was because of their commitment to success
Too many smiles, handshakes, hugs and. .yes, tears. .to count after working alongside the Haitian people to make things better. . .
. . .and 1 shared spirit of service that will keep a big place in all of our hearts for the people of Haiti who need and deserve our support for years to come. JOHN
Infinite
