New Life Village



This is a little group of houses that you pass out in the country just before you come into St. Marc. Someone told me that about five years ago, during the flooding season, the river here in St. Marc backed up and made a deadly flood that killed a lot of people and destroyed a lot of homes. Nothing like what happened in Gonaives last summer and fall, but terrible nonetheless.
Food for the Poor collaborated with Broetje Orchards (I have no idea if that company operates here or just overseas. There are a lot of European Union countries that run projects here.) and they built this little development of houses. I know a couple who gave money to build one of them, and I wanted them to see it.
It looks like a nice place.
