Haiti Trip 2016

Five people represented Central on a VIM Trip to Soaring Unlimited in Cap-Haitian, Haiti.  Jean Coodrod and Susan Nichols dedicated their time to working with the children who came to the Soaring Clinic each day after school.  They played games, learned how to play one of the three violins that Jean provided, learned new songs in English and Creole, and had their pictures taken.  The pictures were framed and presented to the children at a graduation ceremony before the team left.

Kevin Hahn, David Conrad and Staton Lorenz spent their working days preparing a boys orphanage building for a new roof.  They worked with and trained three Haitian men during that time.  This project was part of an ongoing collaboration among Soaring Unlimited, Heartland UMC, Faith Reformed Church and Central UMC.

Daily devotions, great food each night, a chance to further relationships with our Haitian friends and visits to two Methodist Churches and a couple area attractions made for a great trip.

Thank you for your support!
