RMI would like to wish our Haitian partners and staff a Happy Independence Day! January 1, 1804 was the day Haiti declared its independence from France – the first free black republic. They celebrate by drinking (not eating – the Creole word that is used for eating soup actually means that you drink soup) pumpkin soup. The soup is a hearty beef and vegetable stew with a pureed butternut type of squash they call a pumpkin base – very yummy! The holiday is actually 2 days, January 1 and 2. We’re excited to be celebrating with you!! from Reciprocal Ministries International http://ift.tt/2hHud3M via IFTTT

The Christmas season can be all consuming for us here in the US.  There’s shopping for gifts, wrapping those gifts (maybe mailing them too), decorating your house inside and out, Christmas concerts, programs and parties to attend, special meals with friends, caroling, some more shopping, and traffic – a lot more traffic from all those people trying to do the same stuff you are doing, with perhaps some travel thrown in there.  It’s a very busy time.  But while you were shopping, in a far away, very remote area of Haiti, goats, food aid and a pastor’s motorcycle were delivered, an RMI staff team has put on a roof of a parsonage and the site survey and prep work has begun for building a new parsonage.  Oh, and a house is being built for a widow and water filters are being installed. Funds given by C3 partners far and wide

Haiti’s recovery from Hurricane Matthew is going to be long and slow due to the totality of the devastation, the lack of resources, and the remote location in many cases.  RMI’s first priority is to get roofs of schools repaired/replaced so kids can get back to school.  This will help give families some semblance of normalcy.  Then we’ll focus on church and parsonage roofs as well as other repairs like benches.  With crops gone, hunger and malnutrition is everywhere now.  RMI is continuing to distribute food aid and water filters to meet these needs. Rebuild and Restore teams are now being scheduled for the coming winter and spring season.  Your church can send a team or you can join a team that is already scheduled.  Go to www.rmibridge.org/rebuild-and-restore-work-teams for more details.  We need you!  You can be a part of rebuilding southern Haiti.
