Moving Forward!!!

Right before leaving Haiti on Monday I learned that President Martelly FINALLY signed our dossier!!! We have received presidential dispensation after a LONG 12 month wait in IBESR. We are now waiting for it to be printed in the paper and hopefully we will then be scheduled for court. Hopefully sooner than later!!! Either way we are finally moving forward and for this we praise the Lord!
