Welcome

I have created this blog to share the stories of my trip to Haiti as a missionary at Sonlight Ministries as I will be teaching Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Math (Pre-Calculus) as well as doing some accounting. Sonlight Ministries was started by Roger and Norma Alexander in 1985 after their second year in Haiti. Before moving to Haiti I have visited four times on one week trips to volunteer with anything that was needed. This mainly consisted of construction work as groups from my church, West Ridge Community Church, have helped build a new multipurpose building for Sonlight which will be called SonCenter. Construction isn’t the only type of work. There are countless ways people can help when they visit. Some like to spend time in the classrooms interacting with the students as teachers aides or sitting in the hall with a student one-on-one to help with grammar, math, etc. Groups have also helped with numerous tasks such as painting inside houses, outside houses, and rooftops. Some have fixed leaks in pipes, roofs, walls while others stained and varnished doors before another installed them. Work has ranged from everything between painting to the construction of a water tower. If you enjoy helping others and would ever consider visiting please let me know; it is a life changing experience.
