5th Section Trip

Here are some photos from our tour of the 5th Section of St Marc.  It is known as the poorest area around St Marc and also was the center of Voodoo in the area.  This is the area that the YWAM base has focused there efforts and the results are already tangible, as you can see by the writing on one of the houses.

I thought the 5th Section to almost look like a mix of Vietnam and African plains.  It truly was a beautiful but poverty ladened area. Here you can see rice plants and banana trees.

Houses in Ba-la-gay.  They are preparing a medical clinic in this village that will be staffed by a doctor out of Florida.  They had the building up and the water filtration unit set up.

These 3 photos are from Ba-la-lay village.  This is where the first Homes of Hope were built in 2006.  The villagers were very friendly and as you can see by the writing on the building above have been very receptive to Gods message.  This village was minutes away from where the Cholera epidemic started and over 20% of its population died from the sickness.
