Learning Patience, One of Life's Lessons

We have learned so many life lessons through Be the Power of One. One of the biggest things that Haiti has taught us is to be patient. Things in Haiti seldom run as smoothly or as efficiently as they do in the States. That being said we wanted to share some pictures Jean Ronal has sent us from Pignon. These are shots he took of the students with their Christmas packages. These beautiful bags were decorated by the Bradford and Van Wert families during our Thanksgiving holiday 2011. We shipped these off just a short time later to Pastor Carsel in Miami and he forwarded them on to Haiti. We'll know next year to send these off earlier, another life lesson, since the packages arrived only last month. Hope the contents of the cookie tins for the teachers stay fresh....

Prior to the Christmas packages we'd mailed off a couple of boxes of school supplies. These items were additional school supplies that we could not fit in the five suitcases we hand delivered in August. Like always, it is with a great sense of accomplishment that we share these photos with all of you. It is through your generosity that we are able to provide school supplies and contribute to financial support for the teaching staff. The school supplies, Christmas packages along with the new uniforms and school desks you see here are the results of your willingness to support Be the Power of One.
