Slapping Concrete in Haiti

Last January our daughter and a group of kids from Luther Memorial Chapel University Student Center in Shorewood, Wisconsin made the trek down to Haiti to build homes for the Lutheran Village in Jacmel. Here’s a few photos from the trip, taken by Paige Diekmann, Rachel Ploetz, and Minte Rosalyn. Click on the photo for a larger view.

Dare to be Lutheran. Wear your Higher Things t-shirt.
