With respect to the Tytoo family, the children are currently being housed in a town several kms to the north from the home village of Simmonette. School for them has resumed in a public school building that has been made available to us in the afternoons.
Update from Tytoo Gardens Director
School is closed again due to violence in Source-Matelas and Cabaret area. Gangs have gained control of these villages, even the cement plant! They went to some villages in Cabaret and took control. As the violence seems to be escalating we will need to have a meeting to discuss about moving the kids if gangs move toward Arcahaie!
Update from Tytoo Gardens
Happy summertime to all our friends and supporters of Tytoo. Webert and his family were able to travel to Haiti and return safely. Conditions there are still very unstable with gang wars continuing unabated in the city. Roads blocked by burning tires and burning cars remain a common sight. Webert reduced the risk by renting an armed car to travel from the airport to Tytoo. Needless to say we are not recommending mission trips any time soon.
