Rising Out of the Rubble
The earthquake that shook Haiti had a profound effect on the St. Joseph Family. While no children of the St. Joseph's Family of Homes perished in the earthquake, St. Joseph's Home for Boys and the Guest House that was a well-established, reputable 'rest stop for travelers', was damaged beyond repair and has had to be demolished. A year after the earthquake crumbled structures, demolition efforts are complete and construction efforts to rebuild are well underway. The former St. Joseph's Community Art Center, which saw little damage, has become the interim housing for a few of the previous St. Joseph's residents, while the others have been relocated to Trinity House for the time being.
Wings of Hope also sustained considerable damage. The residents were required to relocate their home to another location as a matter of safety. Luckily this was accomplished quickly, with them moving into a beautiful, more modern rental facility within a month of the quake. Demolition is ongoing and happily nearing completion.
Trinity House, in the big picture, was spared any substantial structural damage. Cracked walls have been repaired. Lekol Sen Trinite classes resumed within months, albeit, outside in tents erected by the students' parents.
Today, everyone has a roof over their head; the Cholera epidemic has bypassed the Family; the Resurrection Dance Theatre has returned from highly successful United States and Canadian tours; construction progresses daily on the new buildings. So many things to be thankful for.
