Teachers we are privileged to be supporting in Cascade Pichon, Haiti. Some of these young educators walk a couple of miles, one way, daily through the mountains to teach. They are, without a doubt, heroes.
After a soccer game in Bleck we gave away jerseys (from MidAmerica Nazarene women's soccer team) and soccer balls (from Challenger Sports in Lenexa, KS).
The LQVE 2016 Summer team: Todd, Logan, Trent, Kalyn, Cliff, Evan, Bre, Landon, Morgan, Blakely and Tamron. (Bill's not pictured!) They're standing in front of the Cascade Pichon Elementary school. Prior to the school being built in 2013 only one student had ever passed the state's exam. In the last 3 years over 40 kids have passed. We have a responsibility to help the community to keep moving forward.
Here's Bill. I'm still not sure how he found his way into a Haitian parade, but here's the proof!
The cascades of Cascade Pichon.
Asmeen and her sister, Amaleen. Two of my favorite girls in Cascade Pichon.
There's something special about watching kids play with matching jerseys!
