The mayor of Delmas' office is on Delmas 31. On Monday people were protesting in front of it. The mayor's workers have been angering street vendors by taking their wares and making them pay fines to get their stuff back. The strong arm tactics used by the mayors workers is what the people are upset with.
The UN police drove by but no action was taken. The protest was peaceful. The people were singing and chanting protest songs and waving tree branches. We stayed out of rock throwing range just in case! There were a few curious spectators watching the proceedings as well.
This week we were blessed as a member of ODEO with a donation from Love a Child. They have a tilapia fish farm and donated fish to us. The fish tasted great! We even sent some home with the workers to share with their families as well. Paulna helped to clean the fish.
This week we worked on the passport paperwork for Dieunette Lormintus. She is a happy baby and starts to giggle when we drive over the bumps in the road!
This is what an encephalocele looks like. She was born with an opening at the back of the head. In this bulge is part of her brain. Pray for the rest of the paperwork process and that she can travel to the United States soon.
