During the night of Wednesday, February 20th, the beam collapsed in the roof over a 4th grade classroom (top photo). If it had been in the heart of the day, there would have been many deaths. We thank the Lord for His infinite goodness. The roof and ceilings have now been removed from 12 classrooms which had been built at the same time. The structures are being studied for strength before rebuilding can begin. The children and teachers still use the classrooms. When it rains, it is more difficult for all but much better than risking another collapse.
St. Simon parish is collecting money to repair the buildings. The bottom photo shows the school before the roof collapsed. If you can help with this rebuilding, please send a donation to St. Simon Parish--Haiti, 702 E. Bryant, Ludington, MI 49431. Thank you! Mesi! --Kathryn
