Recently we were able to provide funds in the amount of $4k to help drill a well for fresh water for a region north of Port-Au-Prince in Haiti. Providing a well that delivers fresh water is a huge help to the people since they will no longer get drinking water or cooking water from a contaminated, sewage filled river or stream. These wells have a dramatic impact on improving the overall health of the people. Without the wells they are plagued with diseases.
Check back soon for more details and photographs.

Victoria Orphanage Outreach
On June 13 we did another outreach at an orphanage in the town of Victoria, Romania which is approximately 72 kilometers from Sibiu. The section of the orphanage that we visited was the boys section which included boys from six years old to 18 years old. This appeared to be very well run and clean. One of the staff leaders was very nice and hospitable. We delivered fruit, candies, and assorted treats for the boys. We did not take photos at this facility since it is state run and it is customary not to photograph in these institutions. This was not a problem for us since we just wanted to bless the boys.
Arpasu de Sus Orphanage Outreach
This photo was taken at the orphanage in Arpasu de Sus, Romania. This town is appr. 56 kilometers from Sibiu. On Sunday, June 12 we had the privilege of delivering 27 Joybags to the boys. Most all of these boys were without major problems and are healthy. This is a private Christian orphanage that is very clean and a nice facility. They do have the usual challenge of raising enough operating funds ongoing.
