PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – 1) Yesterday, Thursday feb. 4th we visited our formation community Kay Chevalier in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was, more than anything, a visit to cheer up this community, to share with them and together to begin to look at the path of their immediate future. Of course we took the opportunity to bring them a lorry load of food and other articles of prime necessity. Not only the Priests Fr. Jones Jean Baptiste and Pascal but also the young students of Kay Chevalier are in good health and they seem to be in good spirits. I was accompanied by Frs Martin Luzon and Roland Vicente Galvan.
