Thursday Night News

The ride to the DR border and back took basically all day. Apparently once you arrive at the border there is a market set up there. They were able to purchase enough food there to feed the orphanage for a few weeks! Ricot was excited to get more food for less money as the prices in Haiti have been astronomical. They estimate that they saved hundreds of dollars on food by driving to the border.

Karl and Ann Olsson (missionaries that have been living in PaP for many years) brought over some food and drink mixes today.

The Amidon's got great news from John last night. Pastor Rigaud made it back to Haiti yesterday and he was able to bring the generator with him. According to John, they already have it powering portions of the house and tomorrow they are going to use it to run the water filtration system! John has had much experience with this system, so this should greatly help their support effort by providing more water.

Steve was able to get water and a generator donated from the US Army, now they have two generators, so one can focus on water filtration while the other powers essential other needs. These generators will be a tremendous help. Steve is going to continue to work at getting additional aid on Friday.
