Rosel says, "Thank you
for all your support and
please continue to

This month we would
like to introduce you to

one lives in Paris.

Home, Rosel lived in the
United States, working
in construction and
driving truck. Rosel has
been working at LOCC
Children's Home since
2008. Rosel oversees
the everyday opera-
tions of the children's
home. He secures food
and supplies for the
children and helps with
staffing issues. He also
helps to run the team
home and assists when
teams are here on mis-
sion trips. Rosel is a
positive role model to
the boys at the chil-
dren's home. He is a

Hi, my name is Annalise.
My birthday is Septem-
ber 9th and I am eight
years old.
I come from
Timechet,
Croix Des Bou-
quet. I do
not have a
mother...she died. My
father is Lemer and he
works as the gateman at
LOCC Children's Home.
I love to watch movies.
When I grow up I want to
be a nurse. My favorite
food to eat at the chil-
dren's home is white rice.
In school I love to study
Science. Email Melissa

During the last week of
March a team traveled
to Haiti, and their main
purpose was to rebuild
the kitchen at the Chil-
dren’s Home. The cost
of this project was cov-
ered by very generous
donations to Imagine
Missions, due to the tre-
mendous need.
One team arrived earlier
than the other to pro-
cure the materials
needed. Doing this in
Haiti is a job unto itself
and lasted all week
long. They also began
to tear out the old rot-
ted cupboards. When
the second part of the
team arrived, they were
all ready to set block for
the bases of the island
and counters. Drains
were dug into the floor
and outside trenches
needed to be dug. This
was a huge job as well.
Concrete countertops
were installed, and the
old stainless double sinks
were cleaned and re-
used. A new refrigerator
was purchased, and a
pantry with large shelves
was built. The oven from
the former team house
was brought in, and a
chest freezer was pur-
chased through a pri-
vate donation.
There is no need to
expound on the con-
dition of the old
kitchen. The only
thing that needs to
be said is that with
Gods help, we are
able to be His hands
and feet.
It is His
good
work, and
He is able
to finish it.
We thank
everyone
for their
prayers
and donations.

We had a setback in
March when it rained
very hard for several
days. The room where
everything was packed
had water come in, so
many boxes needed
unpacked, the clothes
inside rewashed, and
then repacked. Trips
were made to the laun-
dry mat, but we’re
ready to go now.
Thank you to everyone
who donated.
The shipping project has
been an enormous ven-
ture. Our goal from the
onset was 1,000 pounds.
We are now over 4,000
pounds, and we defi-
nitely expect to be over
5,000 pounds by ship-
ment date. The ship-
ment should go out by
the end of April, and the
money to ship it has
been raised. The more
you ship, the less it costs
per pound.

Bowling for beds was a huge
success, not to mention a lot
of fun. 31 people bowled,
and $2,226 was raised. This
will give us the ability to
purchase 42 vinyl covered
mattresses for our young
children’s dorm.
Thank you to everyone who
supported this fundraiser, es-
pecially to Alpa Lanes for
having us.
While the last team
was in Haiti, they did a
clothing distribution at
the orphanage. Every
child received an out-
fit, clothes, and a toy;
all of which we were
able to take with us
because of the gener-
ous donations of items
and money Imagine
Missions has received.
Chris and Beth
Hostetler also brought
165 t-shirts for the chil-
dren to decorate,
along with craft kits for
making your own
yoyos and maracas.
How much fun would
that be?

God is doing wonderful things in the lives
of these children, as well as the lives of
those of us fortunate enough to help
them come to know the love of God by
providing clean water, food, an educa-
tion, and teaching them about Jesus.
