NEWS BRIEFS from Haiti chèri

PAP (Port au Prince)

- this morning Guylene (our friend, MCC colleague and Gabriela's god-mother) picked up the paper signed by the important person in ARCHIVES

- she spent a few hours at IMMIGRATION to start the passport process

- the file needs to go over to the Ministry of the Interior to be signed by 3 different people

- Friday morning, she will try to get that done in collaboration with a few high level people in the Ministry that Matt has been able to make contact with thanks to help from some other friends with friends

- we are and hoping and praying that the file will be signed in the morning on Friday so Guylene can go back to Immigration to get the passport done. She has friends there who can get the passport done quickly for us. If we get the passport today or first thing Monday morning, we should be all set for the Wednesday departure!
