As you can see from these aerial photos, Haiti is known as "The Country of Mountains".

St. Michel is a high plateau at 1200 feet altitude N. W. of Hinch.

 

St. Michel, we were met with the curious stares of locals who were out and about for Market Day.

Bridges Foundation has 3,000 acres of a 20,000 acre property. In the 1950's, the entire farm provided employment for 3,000 people. Then their market was shut down by the embargo and since then, an entire generation has been unemployed. Today, the Robinsons have a vision to replant the ranch with viable crops and provide an opportunity for employment.

We thank the Robinsons and the

Bridges Foundation for a delightful time,

and pray for their success.
