Bonjou Mezanmi!
As you may know, I've been in Haiti since March 26 volunteering at an orphanage. It's been an amazing experience so far. I've learned a lot of Creole to make myself useful and have grown a lot spiritually.
Originally, I was planning to stay until June 28. However, Rev. Baek, who is in charge of the orphanage, is in Korea raising funds for a new and permanent orphanage in Port-au-Prince, and she won't be back until Early-mid July. The only other missionary here is Mrs. Kang, and it would be too difficult for her to manage everything by herself. So I’ve decided to stay longer, at least until Rev. Baek comes back. Once she is back, we’ll start the construction of the new orphanage right away, so I could be helping with that as well.
The reason I'm writing this is that to leave Haiti at a later date, I need to buy a new ticket, and it costs $300-$400, depending on when I buy it. I'm asking you to consider helping me stay in Haiti another month. Even a small contribution will go a long way.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
