St. Joseph Family - Visitor Comments (thru July 2016)

Wonderful stay, as usual. Delicious meals and very comfortable accommodations. Thank you for your kind hospitality and care! — Visitor from NC

Easter Sunday at Wings will live in my mind forever as the best display of God’s love…Steve drumming, Emmanuel leading worship, Guichard speaking, everyone’s gentle care, the children (especially Ti Laza) ringing bells. Bravo to Gephte and the rest of the Wings teachers for thoughtful, knowledgeable, energetic participation in teacher workshops at Lekòl Sen Trinite and Duplan — brave professionals. And then there’s the leadership of Bill and Walnes…What can I say??!! So much talent, ingenuity, resilience, joy. Dadi’s cooking is wonderful! Will miss cheese omelets, eggplant, and more! — Visitor from NC

It warms my heart to know that the kids are taken care of here and are treated as family. It’s really shown, because they welcome us as family. I’m truly sad to be leaving.” — Visitor from NC
