ALUMNI
John E. ("Jet") Thorne
('77) spent five weeks in Haiti this summer
working with the Feed My Lambs Ministry, which runs an orphanage
that houses and feeds more than 30 children. The group is building
a school to provide free education to 400 children and a clinic to
provide medical care. "I was working at the school construction
site digging ditches, laying pipe, moving concrete block up a ladder
to the second floor, sifting sand and rocks by hand, sanding and
varnishing desks, and installing toilets," he says. "I would spend
time interacting with the children and I fell in love with all of them
and wish I could bring all of them back to Bermuda with me to pro-
vide them with a better life. What amazed me the most about the
people in Haiti was how happy they were despite the horrendous
conditions they live in. The children were happy playing marbles,
dominoes and football and did not allow the fact that they had no
electricity, very few clothes and personal belongings bother them."
