The first training seminar has been held in RMI’s pilot agricultural project. Our goal is to work collaboratively with the national C3 partner churches and its leaders to introduce farmers to agricultural education and insights in farming their land. They are going to work in conjunction with the pastor, deacons and community leaders to teach sustainable/renewable agricultural practices on each site where farmers can learn and apply their newly obtained skills to better improve their crop quality and quantity. They will begin with a group of farmers who in turn will apply the newly acquired skills and knowledge to their own fields. The national church will be responsible for the land acquisition and maintaining the fields. The US C3 Partner church will help by resourcing portions of the project. After testing the soil and examining which crops will thrive in that particular area, they will teach and model the basics
Did you know that the Hope for Kidz team here in Haiti is already working hard preparing for the 2018-19 school year? Yes, you read that right: 2018-19 is not a typo! Just last week the team started traveling to various schools to begin taking pictures of every child available to be sponsored for the next school year. The first round of picture taking will continue 4 days a week and last through the end of November. Why start early for the next school year? While some school locations are close by, many others require hours of travel. Many of you know from experience the kinds of roads we travel to get to your sister church. It’s exhausting work just getting there! One of the main reasons to start early is that it takes time to enter each sponsored student’s new photo as well as update all the student information

After a “Hurricane Irma hiatus”, we’re glad to get back to our Haitian proverb posts. Today’s Haitian proverb: Avan ou monte bwa, gade si ou ka desann li. Translation: Before you climb a tree, look to see if you can climb down. Meaning: Make sure you know what you’re getting into. Our American proverb, “Look before you leap” has much the same meaning. from Reciprocal Ministries International
