The Haiti Education Alliance (THEA) was asked to speak at the Pitman Road Church of Christ Christmas Tea. The presentation focuses on what is new and upcoming with THEA's work in Haiti. The proceeds for the event will go toward making beds for the 22 children who are currently in cramped quarters- often 3 or 4 children to a twin sized bed. Further proceeds will purchase needed materials for THEA's Gardening Training Program.

Joy to the world! The Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room

and nature sing,
And heaven and heaven and nature sing!

Let men their songs employ
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and

repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding
joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!

Far as, far as the curse is found.

and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness
and wonders of His love and wonders of His
love
And wonders, wonders of His love!
