Pictured above, students in one of our Haiti schools gather for an assembly at their school!\u00a0 Our schools in Haiti continue to be open with students attending and learning everyday.\u00a0 Throughout much of the country, local gangs have control of large territories.\u00a0 With little infrastructure to combat the gangs, daily life for the masses is an ongoing struggle.\u00a0 Our HOLD Home Orphanage in Haiti remains a safe haven for all the children who call it home.\u00a0 Because it is nestled in a quiet area of the northern part of the country, it remains safe and untouched by the violence that pervades much of the rest of the country.\u00a0 We are grateful for its continued progress.<\/p>\n
In Jamaica, JCSD is thriving and was appreciative of the Mission Discovery team there last month.\u00a0 ASL students from Texas were able to help teach some of the younger students, and the teachers from Texas facilitated a helpful seminar for the JCSD staff.\u00a0 Also in Jamaica, our Victory Christian Fellowship preschool works to make needed improvements to better provide for students.<\/p>\n
In Guatemala, our Kairos Christian School has had several Mission Discovery teams come to help!\u00a0 So far this Spring in Guatemala, 8 homes have been built for families in need, 306 patients have been seen at a medical clinic, and 36 needy families have received food and cleaning supplies to help meet some of their basic needs.\u00a0 We are thrilled numerous volunteers have joined us to serve in Guatemala.<\/p>\n
With HOLD schools operating and mission trips in full-swing, there has not been a slow moment.\u00a0 Thank you for all you give!\u00a0 Your donations and ongoing support make the ministry of HOLD, His Outreach for Learning and Development, possible.\u00a0 Enjoy this Spring season as we celebrate our risen Savior; Happy Easter!<\/p>\n
