Saturday, we had a party for Elysee. Feb. 28th was his birthday and he came home to Port-au-Prince for the weekend. His Dad's birthday was Saturday, so we celebrated both. This picture shows Elysee with his Dad and Jenica, Elysee's God-daughter.We also have a prayer request for him and Croyance.--for their safety in the northern town of St. Michel. 
We were so happy that Elysee and Croyance got jobs out in the country and got to leave the troubled area of Bolosse. But, just recently, the UN police began a new tactic. They decided to take over the buildings where the gangs were based in Cite Soleil (ghetto of Port-au-Prince). Although some gang leaders were arrested, some of them got away and fled to other parts of Haiti. We just found out that one of (if not the) most notorious ganster, comes from St. Michel, so he decided to move his whole "army" back there for a while (Between 50 to 100 "soldiers").
