STUDENT SEMINAR IN HAITI
MANY THANKS TO THE VELDMAN FAMILY AND PAUL RUPP, JR.,
FUND FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND TO OMS INTERNATIONAL FOR HOUSING, FOOD AND
LOGISITICAL SUPPORT OF THESE TRIPS!!
Starting in March of 1999, Notre Dame initiated
a student seminar that involves extensive training (at Notre Dame) on repair
of India Mark II pumps followed by a one week trip to Haiti to repair wells
and to train the local population in the maintenance and repair of their
hand-pumps.
The goals of this program are
to:
--> Repair a number of hand pump wells
--> Expose the students to life in Haiti
--> Provide for interaction between students and Haitiens
--> Provide an opportunity to train local Haitiens in hand
pump repair
--> Provide an opportunity for the Notre Dame students to live
their faith
Prayers said by the group both before and after each attempted repair
provide an opportunity for our faith to be witnessed among the Haitien
people.
The trip has historically been supported financially by the Veldman
family and Paul Rupp, Jr., fund and through housing and vehicles provided
by OMS, a missionary group with a significant compound in Cap Haitien. We
are deeply endebted for this support.
