Radford University Trip to Jacsonville

January 28, 2011

January, 2011 a team from Radford University, St. Jude’s, WVA, and Northern Va. visited Jacsonville. We discovered the heart of Haiti.

The development of the community continues, the school is thriving and the mission house is half finished and will be a comfortable place for visitors to this God touched land.

The water project continues to bring fresh water to the school and garden, the housing project is well under way and the school children are learning every day. The future holds hope for the completion of the mission house, a reliable vehicle to transport visitors, tractor accessories, a Health clinic and improved roads along with internet access, electricity (solar panels), a computer lab and a chapel.

Check out a video of our trip and the successes of Jacsonville:
