October 2011 - It was an amazing trip to HAITI....trip #15 in six years...hard for me to believe. So many wonderful PROJECTS. La Baie School, Vion School, La Grange School, Duval School, Duval Medical/Dental Clinic, La Grange Clinic, Lavaneau High School, Earthquake Relief Operation, Roger Mathurin's Family & 2 others REBUILD HOMES, Dr Philippe in Medical School in Santiago Dom, Dr Roosvelt enters Medical School in Port aux Prince, hundreds of daily lunch meals for needy children.....the list goes on WOW!!!!! MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE. Haiti is safe to travel in these days and invote you to come on a journey - seeing is believing...this past year I have had 8 young men join me on the Lavaneau Southcoast High School Building Project. I will return to Haiti in February 2012 with a Team to rebuild the Earthquake destroyed Elem School of Lavaneau & Primary School - now to raise $9000 for this rebuild.

MON JAN 18TH - 4AM...THE SITUATION HAS NOT CHANGED, WE THINK TO MOVE THE PEOLE TO LAND NORTH OF PORT AUX PRINCE AND REBUILD A SMALL VILLAGE FOR THE 300 FAMILIES..A GOOD IDEA? THE FAMILIES OF LA GRANGE WILL TAKE IN THE CHILDREN, DO NOT COME WITH ANYONE, THE SMELL IS BAD, YOU CAN GET SICK EVERYWHERE, NO HOTEL AND NO FOOD - YOU COME IS OK - YOU ARE HAITIAN, WE LOVE YOU

SAT JAN 16TH...DR RENAUD HAS CALLED AT 6AM...WE ARE OK, THE CLINIC AND HOUSE ARE OK, THANKS TO GOD, THE PROBLEM IS VERY GREAT, SUFFERING EVERYWHERE , WHAT TO DO, WILL YOU COME?
SAT JAN 16TH...MENDELSON HAS CALLED AT 7AM...MANY TIME WE FEEL THE LAND MOVING TIME BY TIME, STILL THE QUAKE IS CONTINUING,I HAVE NO GAS AND MUST TRY TO GET GAS FOR THE TRUCK NOW, I WILL MOVE MY FAMILY AND OTHERS TO SAFETY IN LA BAIE, EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH AND SCHOOL IS COME DOWN.
I HEAR THAT DISEASE IS A BIG RISK NOW FOR THE MANY PEOPLE IN THE STREETS.....
I EXPLAINNED THAT ROGER IS WALKING NORTH FROM THE CENTER OF TOWN AND WILL GATHER MANY CHILDREN, OUR RELIEF EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON 1000 CHILDREN AND WE WILL BRING THEM TO DUVAL SCHOOL AND THEN ON TO LA GRANGE VILLAGE...
GOOD PLAN - MENDELSON SAID, WE LOST THE PHONE LINE
I SPOKE WITH MENDELSON'S BROTHER BONNY IN MIAMI, HE IS A TAXI DRIVER IN MIAMI AND HAS A HOME IN PORT AUX PRINCE...HE SAID,
MY HOME IS COME DOWN, EVERYTHING IS GONE, MY NIECE AND HER FAMILY WERE IN THE HOUSE, THEY ARE NOW DEAD, MENDELSON DOES NOT KNOW THIS YET, WE CAN NOT TALK WITH HIM SINCE THE QUAKE...
SO DEATH HAS COME TO THE CESAR FAMILY.....
I SLEPT FOR ONLY 4 HOURS LAST NIGHT...MANY TIMES THE PHONE WOULD RING BUT I COULD NOT HEAR A CLEAR VOICE...ONLY DESPERATE VOICES SAYING PLEASE HELP US...PLEASE COME TO HELP...REMEMBER US NOW....
MY HEART IS SO HEAVY....IT HAS BECOME A HAITIAN HEART LONG BEFORE THIS DISASTER....THE NEED WE HAVE IS LONG TERM...THERE IS NO QUICK FIX....WE WILL REBUILD THE HOMES AND SUPPORT 500 FAMILIES AND RESCUE 1000 CHILDREN AND IF MORE MONEY COMES WE WILL HELP MORE...
THE INTERNATIONAL AID RELIEFS WILL REBUILD THE CAPITAL AND THE GOVERMENT OFFICES, AIPORT, HOSPITALS ROADS...
12 HOURS OF LIFE....WILL REBUILD FAMILIES & CHILDREN'S LIFES....I PROMISE YOUR DONATION WILL BE SPENT WISELY AND THIS SITE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING AND WHAT WE ARE DOING
THANK YOU....I HAVE JUST COME OUT OF MEXICO LAST NIGHT AFTER THREE WEEKS AND AM IN LA - HEADING HOME NOW TO CANADA...I HOPE TO BE ON MY WAY TO THE DOMINICAN BY THE END OF THE WEEK WITH RELIEF.
