This bateye is in a hot and dusty hill area about one hour from the Haitian border.  The people in this village are mostly farm workers.  The only source of water is from a spigot at the bottom of the hill.  There have been multiple devastating fires in this area.  The center of the community is a small church that hosts worship services, school for adults and children, and Bible study during the week.  Francois is the teacher for two classes a day and he currently receives support.  The church recently built on and added a new roof.  This congregation is growing and the local government sees the great value in a having such a dedicated Christian community in the area.
