Ed's first trip to Haiti - March 2012

Gallery of pictures taken by Ed Cerne and Donaldson (a local Haitian) of a trip to Haiti by a team from Epworth Methodist Church. Lisa & Bob Botts taught ESL and Bible School, Carol West fits people with eyeglasses, Ed Cerne is investigating building a goat farm and barn, Brent Engel is setting up the school with computers and gives instruction and Linda Mitchell (team leader who is spearheading the Fond Doux project) does a myriad of other things - gives out clothes, makes balloon animals, entertains children, etc.
