Odds and Ends

Here is the first Philosophe (Philo) class at BTI! This is the last year of Secondary School for them. They have already passed the first National Exam, the Baccalaureate I. At the end of this year, they will take the second National Exam, the Bacc II. Once they pass the Bacc II, they are done with Secondary School and can go on to University or can teach at the Secondary level. All of our BTI teachers have their Bacc II. Pray for these students this year. It will be a year of hard work and long hours. Pray that they can lean on the Lord and help and support one another.
This is Fre (brother) Miguel Mompremier. He is a day guard at HAFF. Back in April 2005, he got3 plants of a new variety of plantain from ECHO to try in his garden. Two of them survived and did very well, in spite of the fact that the variety did not do well at HAFF! Here he is in September of 2006 with one of the plants. The photos below show the fruit of each of the plants. He is very pleased with them! He is especially pleased since the plants each have many new plants (pups) springing up from them! Thanks ECHO!!!

Hey connie,
I was wondering what the progress of the orphange next to the HAFF compound was. I know they were struggling when we left and I wanted to know what was going on. I'm at bible school right now doing missionary training for the next year, and I don't know what God has in store when I get out, but I would really love to come down and work in the orphange if at all possible, if only for the summer. so keep me updated and i'll do the same..thank you and miss you a bunch!!
