What was I doing in Haiti? The children of Chacha Mountain
What was I doing in Haiti? The children of Chacha Mountain would not have any education at all, if not for a few church leaders and their wives who give their time to teach and disciple. It is not an official school in any sense. There is no government funding. There are no materials, not even desks to write on. Most of the children do not have a uniform. But over 100 children come each day to learn reading, writing and arithmetic and they are taught from God's Word. As Haitian believers invest in these children, we have the opportunity to be a part of it with them. We are hoping to sponsor children in this program with the money going for the school needs and a daily nutritious lunch. It takes several hours of hard driving to get up the mountain to Chacha. If ever there was a place where there is nothing, this is it. If ever there was a place that could be called the "ends of the earth" this is it. Poor? There is no water, except what is collected from the sky. Toilet? Until recently, there were not even outhouses. Clothing? Require a long trek down the mountain to the market to buy supplies of any kind. Jesus said if we do it to the least of His brethren, we do it to Him. It would be difficult to find any more "least" than these.
