Activities - March, 2009 - From Actionnel: "As you can see, things are very much moving around here. At least 450 students are taking a pretest in 6th grade and the bigger exams will be held in June. The language lab is being used as a classroom for the test since they needed 13 classrooms, but we only had 12. Certainly more than 15 classrooms will be needed in June." |

Cooking for 1500+ students - Each school day OFCB Ministry cooks prepare food for over 1500 students. Since the hurricanes, they have also prepared food for hundreds of starving people who flocked to the school having heard that food was there. |
|
|
The people of Bayonnais labor by hand repairing the flood damaged road from Gonnaives to Bayonnais. Their efforts propelled by the starvation in their stomachs as well as the starvation in the larger community, they labor relentlessly hoping to make it possible to transport larger loads of food to the School and the Bayonnais Community. |

Starving People are flocking to the school in Bayonnais because they heard that there was food there. Amilor has sent two pictures of the people standing several deep at the fence looking with longing eyes protruding from hungry stomachs. |

2005-2006 - The Miracle of the New
Kitchen with Stoves - Imagine that you had 1400+ students and
faculty to cook rice and beans for. And, further imagine that your kitchen
was some tree limbs laid so as to form a small room and imagine that your
stoves were nothing but a hole in the ground with some charcoal in the
hole. Above the charcoal fire you would have hanging a large black cooking pot waiting
for the
water, beans, oil and rice - the main diet of these students and faculty. Well, no more.
It is amazing how the Lord has put this new kitchen with the stoves and the food all together. The ministry is grateful especially to:
