General Linda Bond traveled to
Haiti to see firsthand the progress of
The Salvation Army's reconstruction
work after the devastating earth-
quake in January 2010. General
Bond also spent time worshipping with Haitian
Salvationists and met children from The Salva-
tion Army's College Verena.
She told Salvationists that "I'm proud of
your Christlike service," praising them for join-
ing together in the years following the earth-
quake to share the love and message of Christ.

Twenty junior soldiers and 50 senior soldiers
were enrolled during one meeting. A tour of the
Delmas 2 construction site--which will eventu-
ally house a school, health clinic, offices, confer-
ence center and corps--revealed building plans
and a vision for the long-term impact on the
community. Haitian contractor ARCOTEC hires
and trains unskilled workers from the commu-
nity to participate in the construction.
