August Michigan Group 2007
Well, Steve Fair brought in another group this year! This group of 12 was amazing in the work they got accomplished. They hauled sand, dug the foundation for the new kitchen/dining hall, built two complete bunk beds, loved on all the babies, and worshiped with us at the local church. Steve always brings in a great group, well organized and ready for whatever Haiti can dish out. We look forward to all of them visiting Hands and Feet Project again, soon! Drex, Jo and Michelle

THE WHOLE GANG!
All the kids and Nannies!
We finally got all the kids and Nannies together for a photo first! Have you ever tried to get 23 kids looking their best and at the camera at one time?? We were having Marc and Giovani’s birthday parties when the idea for a group photo came about. You will just have to visit Hands and Feet Project to see how “adorable” our kids really are!

ANOTHER NEW BABY!
MELUSA RABEL
August 6th was another special day for Hands and Feet Project as Melusa (pronounced Melissa) joined our family here at Cyvadier. Melusa Rabel (about 8 months old) has no mother and her father deserted her when she was 3 months old. She spent the last 5 months in a hand to mouth situation with her aunt who is only 16 years old. The aunt just couldn’t take care of her any more. She was glad to be relieved of this chore and soon left for Port-Au-Prince to live with a friend. Melusa is adorable. After being treated for scabies she will start to regain some hair and color that was lost to malnutrition. She joins 4 others at about the same age. All of them are standing holding on to things. Pray for us and the nannys as all these little ones start to walk!!! This little girl is not yet sponsored. Contact Joel if you’d like to help. Drex, Jo and Michelle

CHRISTELA’S FIRST PARTY!
Christela’s First Party
Tonight we got a call from DJ (the American UN police officer that helped with Christela’s rescue) saying the UN was having a surprise going away party for him at UN headquarters. He leaves for the states tomorrow. He wanted to know if Christela could come. Of course, he said we were welcome to come with her! All the UN police came and went as many of them were on duty. We got to see the commander and all his officers and meet them. They all want to come by the mission and see the work we are doing for the needy kids of Haiti. Just a couple of weeks ago we got to meet the Sri Lanka forces that actually made the rescue. I feel we will be busy bringing her by the UN every couple of weeks. Also, Sther, a Haitian interpreter, was there. She was with us through out the process of getting Christela into our mission. Christela wore a green dress with lots of ruffles that DJ had just brought from the states a few days ago. We think she is going to like the party circuit!

IOWA GROUP 1
OWA GROUP 1 July, 2007
Well, they came and did it again! They spent almost the entire week digging another septic hole! Now, that’s dedication to the project and to the Kingdom! We hope they will return again, soon! Their replacement group just came today! Ken Burrows and his son, Sam, stayed on for the second week. The changes that have been made recently really amazed the “old timers”. Every group seems to have great memories of work that was accomplished while they were here. Hope all of you reading this can make a trip, love on our kids and truly get involved with the work of Hands and Feet Project!

WEST COAST GROUP
California and Washington group
Just in time for a great 4th of July celebration at Hands and Feet Project! Two groups, Patti and Rebekah from California and Kim, Jay, John and Heather from Washington arrived to help build, paint, love on the kids and help with the church VBS. Rebekah and Patti had been here before, but for the Washington group it was their first visit. Kim, a teacher, had her class raise funds for the kids. We had been communicating with her for a long time and looking forward to when we could meet her. The group also got to experience two new children coming to the mission, Christela and Giovani. I believe it made a great impression on them as to why the mission is here. We hope this group gets to come back soon! Thanks so much, guys!!!! Drex, Jo and Michelle
