The Dad factor





Our Last work team was a very special group from Wheaton Chicago area. Many kids Alive missionaries are strongly connected with the Wheaton area as well as WBC whom we hosted for the last week. Our feild director Vic also came with his son Sam. We had a packed house with 24 fathers and sons on our first Father/Son team. What a great idea! These guys worked their butts off and had a blast. We poured over 40 yards of concrete in almost monsoon rain conditions. Their team work and discipline paid off in the end with the completion of a full court basketball court. Our Haitian workers didn't really know what to think of the father son crew, who did so much work we had to create more in the end. What a huge testimony for this village to be able to see father and son working hard side by side, laughing and playing, crying and praying. Their impact along with their hearts were huge. They also put on a hot dog and game party on Sat. for our kids. What a treat!
