Electricity Update
I wanted to give a quick update of our weekend with missionary David Farquharson from PAP, who came out to help install our solar electrical system. We spent three very busy and somewhat exhausting days up at the site (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) with David and about 25 workers and had a very productive time.…
Read MoreThank the Lord for Grandparents!
It is not uncommon in Haiti to have children being raised by grandparents or other relatives. Sometimes their parents are living, but are unable to provide for the child.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 26th is going to be an exciting day for us here in Haiti as this is the day the construction workers are planning to pour the main roof of the second floor of the pharmacy building. It is a day that has been long in coming and we are grateful to the…
Read MoreA New Year In Progress!
By Dr. Katie Wolf The month of January is already speeding by and I feel like I wasn’t quite finished with December!
