D.R.

Some really good things are happening for Makarios. First, we have a temporary home in Cangrejo, D.R. It is about 5 minutes from the Bateys in Monte Llano, where our work is focused. After much prayer and looking the Lord provided a place that was much better and much more affordable the we expected.
Also 4 Haitian children who live in Santiago will be starting school as I write this. These kids live in a makeshift block house with their mother. I know the boys because they shine shoes in my neighborhood and are always willing to help me with any chores. They will attend school in Licey al Medio which is a few minutes outside Santiago. They are from ages 5 to 14. They are very excited about the uniform and notebooks that Makarios was able to help them afford.
Things are going really well. I am currently finishing moving into the apartment and tomorrow I will be visiting the Bateys and looking to start some programs there.
