Quisqueya News: Saturday, January 30
What a special day we had at Quisqueya yesterday – we celebrated the birth of a healthy little girl on our campus!
Quisqueya staff member Els Vervloet was alerted about 2 am by Roger, one of our Haitian staff members, that one of the Haitian family members staying on our campus was in labor. Els jumped into action, timing the contractions and locating a midwife who was staying in our Elementary Building with a medical mission team from Kansas City, Kansas. At 8:10 Friday morning, little Thalina was born to first-time mother Vanessa in the school’s music room! Mother and baby are doing well and are under the care of the doctors on our campus. In the midst of tragedy, a beautiful new life.
Even as we celebrated little Thalina’s new life, our students were beginning their third day back at school.
Our students sang “This Is the Day That the Lord Has Made” in a round in chapel.
Corrigan Clay continues meeting with our seniors, and is now working to implement some special electives like cooking.
The last hour of the day is dedicated for service activities and study hall. Several students learned to play the domino game “Chickenfoot” after their homework was finished.
