John and Sharon Harbottle had just started their work as Mission Partners in Haiti. Both are still very much "finding their feet" improving their French and learning "Creole". The recently held international Partrners Round Table however gave them the best of introduction to meet with as meny people as possible that they will be directly sharing their work with. Sharon as a Christian Education specialist will be working with District and Circuit Staff to develop the Sunday School, Local Preachers and other teaching and devotional materials. In enabling this very demanding job she will be asisted by Wendy Vencus from the United States and Eluine Laporte. John will work with the Health Team of the Methgodist Church in Haiti to srengthen the infrastructure of the clinics, train community health practitioners and organise health campaings in the communities served by the Methodist Churches of Haiti. In doing this books on personal hygene printed on a large commercial printer donoted by the World Mission Fund (Haiti Appeal) will provide support for his ministry. Print Shop director and General Education Secretary Revd Edzaire Paul was overjoyed to be able to demonstrate to us the printer in action. He had worked with staff to find the best value printer on the internet and have it delivered and assembled in Haiti.
