We have some new neighbors just outside our door, who live in the bushes across the street. The woman is a single mom with three little boys, ages 2, 4, and 6. We think the owner of the land allowed her to build a little shack, just enough for one bed and a shelf for dishes and eating utensils. This small house has only three walls; the back wall is the wall surrounding a school. The family has no electricity nor running water. The children do not have enough to eat and do not have enough clothes to wear. When we saw two of the children without undergarments or pants, we knew what we had to do. This small house was clean inside and had some hanging artificial flowers to make it more pleasant. Our clinic doctor, Dr. Wanitha, examined the three children and the mother. The children are malnourished and have some other medical problems that need further tests. We will keep you posted.

Where our children live, they do not always get the rest they need because their homes have no screens nor doors. They don’t get enough sleep and often find their way here to catch a few winks.

We try to teach our children the gift of sharing. Here, when we receive an abundance, we try to share with those around us. Last night we received a beautiful gift from our friends, Lamour and Nicole. As a thank you for sharing school supplies, shoes, clothes, and toys with them to give the poor in the mountains where they have a program, we received an abundance of fruits and vegetables from their people. It was a beautiful surprise because our kids can share in this abundance when they come to Mother Angela’s Kitchen for their meal. God is good all the time! Bondye bon tout tan!

On Monday, July 28, Klinik Manman Angela answered another call for the need of the clinic to the poor in Pasquet. Our team met in St. Joseph’s chapel. On arrival the church was filled with many children, women and men waiting to see the doctors. Jesus is doing the calling and we are responding.

On Sunday, July 27, we celebrated Sr. Marilyn’s feastday/birthday, and took the opportunity for our kids to thank God for this past school year. The kids who passed to the next grade brought their report cards, which were carried in procession to the altar in thanksgiving for God’s graces and blessings. Before the closing blessing of Mass, Fr. Limond blessed the crosses that were given to us by our Sisters in Holly, MI. We understand that the crosses were made by a gentlemen from that area.

There were so many who gathered for the Bon Fet that we had no room left in the chapel, so some who joined us had to stand outside on the corridor. After Mass all enjoyed cake, cookies, soda, chocolate and their favorite popcorn! We also did some dancing!
