Throughout the summer, we have several groups that travel to Haiti to help the community and volunteer at The Joseph School. Donations play a huge role in what we have accomplished at TJS, as well as where we believe God will take us in the days, months, and years to come. However, it’s not just the monetary gifts that make a difference in Haiti, it’s the groups like Nashville First Baptist’s mission team (from Nashville, TN) that make a significant difference, too.

 

On day one of Nashville First Baptist’s trip, they split into two groups. Most of their team team went to The Joseph School’s land and helped with construction on our new permanent campus. They worked side-by-side with our Haitian friends to build and landscape areas of campus, while the other team held a training and mentoring session with teachers from TJS.

The next few days, the entire group volunteered at the new campus during the day, and in the afternoon, they visited a local orphanage for an evening of bible stories, games, music, movies, and dinner with the kids.

On day four, NFBC sent teams out to visit some of The Joseph School students and provide them with nutritional supplements to help them maintain a healthy weight while they are out of school. (We feed the students twice a day during the school year, but sometimes our students do not have adequate meals when school is out).

Day five was Sunday, or the Sabbath, so the group attended Solid Rock Church in a nearby town called Minotrie, and them they went to Wahoo Beach to rest and relax in the sun, before their last day of volunteering and returning back to Nashville.

Nashville First Baptist accomplished so many wonderful things while they were visiting The Joseph School. We are beyond thankful for their involvement with us and our mission. If you, your church group or organization would like to take a trip to volunteer at TJS, please email us at info@thejosephschool.org.
