We have made it half way through 2022. Sometimes, this is all we can ask. The year seems to be going fast in some respects and very slow in others. Linda has been in Haiti and I have been in North Carolina with the kids.
Linda has been working with the gymnastics kids to get them ready for the trip to compete in the US, however the trip has been delayed due to paperwork for visas and other travel documents. The kids are doing great with their gymnastics and are very excited for the trip. We are hoping to be able to do the competition before school starts.
Linda is also working on a couple of projects with the Special Olympics of Haiti. She will be training participants in gymnastics and weight lifting for Down Syndrome participants. This is something that has always been close to Linda's heart. Please pray that she is able to make a positive impact.
The building location for the school dormitory in Sonis has experienced a small landslide. We are currently trying to find a more suitable location.
We are also excited to announce that there is a new family member. Kristof is a daddy and we received one of his puppies. She is high energy, just like Kristof. We are working to possibly train her as an emergency rescue/cadaver dog. This is unfortunately a much needed service.
Django and Kristof also participated in a dog show. Displaying their talents in agility and protection. They did very well and continue to demonstrate the advantages of a well trained security dog.

Security in Haiti continues to degrade. We are approaching one year since the president was assassinated, and Haiti still does not have a president. The gangs continue to expand their areas of control. I saw a news article that indicated more than 250 people were kidnapped in Haiti in the month of May. This is unfortunately becoming the new normal in Haiti. Please pray for the security in Haiti to improve. There is a lot of politics involved, however God is bigger than this.
This summer, some of us will be traveling to visit churches and other supporters. If you would like us to visit your church or other group, please contact us. As we begin the second half of the year, please consider supporting us financially or in prayer.
God Bless
