Week 3 Update!

Today marks the third week that I have been in Haiti! It is hard to believe that 3 weeks have already gone by, since my arrival on January 16th. Just to give everyone an idea of some of the projects I've been working on...I am going to share with you the biggest project that I have been working on, which is the warehouse on the campus here at Nehemiah Vision Ministries. This is probably the most creative warehouse that I have ever seen. Yes, creative. I say this because the four corners of this building consists of shipping containers (see pics below). Definitely don't come across this too often (or at all) back in the States!

The warehouse:

In the midst of attempting to re-organize/consolidate...we received another container of food last week, from GAiN (Global Aid Network)!:

Unloading the incoming container into a storage container we consolidated earlier in the week:

Heavy pallets and an incline are not ideal!

How the warehouse looks as of today, February 6 (compare this to the first picture in this blog post ^):

We have spent numerous hours re-organizing & consolidating containers, throwing out trash, and installing the new warehouse racking in the left-rear portion of the warehouse!! We hope to receive more warehouse racking to fill every wall...which will help aid our main goal of KEEPING the warehouse in order (neatness, location & inventory of donations, etc.) I will keep everyone posted on the progress of the warehouse throughout the next 6 months! I am beyond excited about the progress that we have already made! I work with a great staff here at Nehemiah Vision Ministries...and I look forward to spending the next 5 or so months working with them.
