Haiti team parents and students,

Thank you so much for your continued support. We appreciate your prayers and encouragement in such a discouraging situation.

We want to again express how deeply sorry we are for the last minute postponement of the Haiti trip. We are all so very heartbroken. Above all, we are sorry that the decision was made under such circumstances. Finding out at the airport was terrible for all of us.

We know you have many questions, and please know that we are working diligently to obtain information to adequately provide responses. We would have liked to be able to provide you with many more answers by now, but unfortunately, our Eternal Hope in Haiti representative (who arranged all of our travel) was in Haiti last week, so we are just now able to work to get information and move forward. We hope to know more information by this weekend concerning the AirTran tickets, the June trip dates, the service hour predicament, and other items of concern. Options for students and their funds will also be determined and announced to students in the next few days. We assure you that we will pass along pertinent information as soon as we receive it.

We would like to meet with students desiring to go to Haiti in June, as well as families with unanswered questions, after the Easter vacation, tentatively on April 25th. We will send more information as soon as we can about this meeting.

Again, we are terribly sorry about the whole situation. Thank you for your patience as we work to provide information. Please continue to be in prayer for our students, team leaders, and the kids at the Hope Haven Orphanage.
