Two 20' X 30' Tents Ordered for École le Bon Samaritain

Two tents have been ordered at a 45% discount for École le Bon Samaritain in Carrefour. They will be shipped to the Episcopal Church of the Mediator in the Bronx where The Rev'd Diego Dalgando-Miller is Rector. Fr. Delgado-Miller is acquiring a 40' container to fill with medical supplies for Haiti and our tents will be added to the shipment along with a donated dental suite for the clinic in Gros Morne.

These are frame tents which can be taken down reasonably easily when a hurricane approaches. They are very stable and shed water nicely. We've also purchased sides for both tents. Each tent will have two opaque sides and two with windows. We expect that most of the time, the sides will be rolled up. The best news is that the two tents are large enough to accommodate two classes each.

Special thanks to Celina Tents of Celina, Ohio and Dennis Desrochers, treasurer at Old St. Andrew's, who has shepherded this project.


Meanwhile, we continue to discuss land issues. We cannot move forward with plans to demolish the old school or to design the new building until these questions are satisfactorily answered. Both Jean-Elie and Mona Millien are doing the best they can to clarify the issues. Stay tuned.
