andro - aka - fond baptist

This church sits on a mountain ridge southeast of St Marc with a view that just keeps going.  Farming is the main source of income with a market not far away to sell your crops.  Getting here is another story.  The road up the mountain is always a challenge and, much of the time, you end up walking the last bit.  As with all the churches and schools, the children help with whatever chore they can.  There is no power or running water in these parts, although a cistern and roof collection system helps provide water when the rains come.  Otherwise, it's an hour walk to fetch water, each and every day.  Below are a few photo's from Andro you might enjoy. If you would like to sponsor this school or one of the teachers please take a moment to click here and fill out a brief form. Thank you.

pray for me

Would you consider praying for one of these precious children? The mountain area they live in is beautiful even if it's without running water, electricity and so many things we might take for granted.
