Our team has been assigned to work in Arcahaie. Arcahaie is located about an hour north of Port Au Prince on Highway 1 along the coast headed towards Saint Marc. While the primary project (construction of a church) was completed in April of 2011, the church leadership and community have expressed the need for a new septic tank, kitchen, depot, and security wall on site. We will be the fifth team to work on this new project! We will be continuing to work on the walls of the new buildings. Also, depending on where they stand in the project when our team arrives, our team may be continuing construction of the new security wall on the property.
We have been in contact with the leaders of some of the prior teams to Arcahaie. They tell us that the food will be great, the giant cockroaches come out at night, and that there's a voodoo compound nearby. Previous groups have led multi-day Vacation Bible School programs there in addition to construction work. We'll be sleeping on cots in a couple of small rooms and will have electricity at night if we choose to run our generator. Our shower will be of the bucket variety.
