While saying goodbye was hard in Desire, we had a wonderful reunion with the Pathways students from Desire. Currently there are six young adults in the Pathways program. Pathways is a program for orphans who have reached the age of an adult. At 18 years, students can no longer be in the orphan care system of Haiti. The Global Orphan Project started Pathways over two years ago and the third class of Pathways started this past fall. Three guys from Desire are on track to graduate this August while the other three are in their first year. Pathways provides life skills, discipleship and learning a trade to help prepare them for adulthood. The goal is to turn out great young men and women who end their Pathways experience by having an "above living wage" job at the time of graduation. It was great to see the Pathways students from Desire and spend some time catching up with them.
Tomorrow we begin our journey home with an arrival close to midnight tomorrow night. Please pray for our safe travels. The team is excited to return home so they can share their experience. The team is also a bit sad to leave because Haiti truly is a special place.
