The Volunteers

Some of you have been asking me about the volunteers that work here. Who are they and what age ranges??? Well, right now there are ten volunteers here. Trish and Melissa are my roommates from Manitoba and they're 23 and 26 years old. Miss Vicky is a middle-aged lady from Michigan, Glenn and June are a middle aged couple from Edmonton, Alison, Molly and Andrea are all Americans and are in their early 20's. Chris is the only young guy here, but he's pretty cool about it. Doesn't seem to mind hanging out with all these girls! Haha!
Those are the volunteers that are coming and going. Unfortunately all of these people will be leaving before me. Most of them have been here since January. Chris leaves on Friday, Molly on Monday, Andrea the week after that and so on. It'll be sad to see them all go, but I know there are sure to be more volunteers coming. There seems to be a steady trickle of volunteers, in and out of GLA.
There are also a lot of full time staff. John and Dixie own and operate the orphanage, another Molly runs the toddler house, La Dawn runs the adoptions, Joyce does a bit of everything, and Lauri handles the accounting. These are all American and Canadians, but there are also a lot of Haitian staff who do a lot of work around the orphanage, including cooking for all the kids, cleaning, and being nannies to the kids. As you can guess, there is a LOT of work needed to run an orphanage of 163 children!
Please be in continued prayer for all of us... we sure do appreciate it! Pray for continued unity and growth in our team! Thanks!
