A Large Slab of Cememt
$800 is what we need – now who will give 100 — 50 — or even 25 to start it out???
This is the goal for a large slab of cement at the school where Elizabeth is helping in Haiti. The dust gets so bad, that the children (and Elizabeth) are getting infections from it — and when it rains – oh my! What mud the school floor becomes then!
Someone has been generous and has provided the funds for Elizabeth’s ticket to come to the USA from July 14 to August 11 and raise the money to put the new cement floor down before school begins this fall. We believe that God has provided a way for this to be done, and are claiming that the total will be reached before she goes back to Haiti on August 11.
Although she will be willing to take donations – her plans are to work for pay to raise as much as she can. If you have work (local to us) and would like to use her, please message us!!
If you would be interested in sending a few dollars for a permanent floor – message me and I will be glad to give you the address in return. Feel free to email this to anyone who you feel would be interested in praying about this project. That is the most important thing to be done with this endeavor.
We have been amazed and blessed to see how our Heavenly Father is providing for Elizabeth’s support and now for the start of a new permanent building. We know that you are praying for her as she serves there, and we are so grateful. Prayer is the first thing – not the last or least – as we so often forget. God loves hearing from us, and doing things to bring glory to His Son.
If you are not familiar with the school, feel free to visit www.Xanga.com/Every_Child_School_of_Soliette_Haiti or www.Xanga.com/Diamond_dust1 to see pictures and catch up on the news.

Lord willing we will get all the money needed and with as big as God is I am sure we will.
With GOD all things are possible.
I wish we were local. Oh the things dear Elizabeth could help me do!
Please message me with the address. We’d like to help out.
The benefit bake sale for Every Child School will work out for July 31. If we have more baked goods then we can sell Friday I may be able to be there Sat. as well. If Elizabeth can plan to be there at least Friday and have a table with information about the school that would be great. I am hoping we will be able to have it in front of the mall at Firestone, but will let you know the details nearer the time.
The yard sale is being planned for the following week Aug. 7 & 8.
Have a wonderful day, Martha and Dorothy
I enjoyed visiting your daughter’s site. I’ve been to Haiti twice so I found it very interesting! God bless her and you too.
