I'm not sure if anyone is following is anymore as Rachael and I are no longer in Haiti. However, if anyone does see this I just wanted to post a need. Jonas, one of the Haitians from our church who is in the beginning stages of starting a school, plays the guitar.
The day I left Haiti, he told me about his guitar. He had an American friend who brought down a guitar for Jonas and flew to the Dominican Republic and went across the boarder to give it to Jonas. Jonas also saved up and worked very hard to purchase this guitar.
Two years later, we come to present time, where he is using his guitar to help teach children through song. One day a friend of his came to him and asked to borrow his guitar. He was torn in the decision but he let him. A few days later the guitar was returned to Jonas. However, a few weeks later Jonas came home to find his guitar was stolen. The very sad part is that his friend he allowed to borrow his guitar was the only person who knew where it was kept. So, Jonas believes it was this person who took it as Jonas has not seen him since his guitar went missing.
In telling me this, Jonas was asking me to try to find a way to get him a guitar. Getting a guitar to him is easy as there are many teams from America going to Foursquare Haiti, and I would just send the guitar to where they live in America, then they could bring it with them to Haiti. However, I don't want to be the only person who can meet this need. I am planning on saving up some money and purchasing a more standard guitar and then sending that to him. If you would like to support me in accomplishing this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Let me know if you have any thoughts.
