Eglise Baptiste de Damien, Haiti Construction Site	At the end of the summer of 2011 Pierre Fontaine, a Haitian expatriot, a classically-trained lyric baritone and a member of my church, approached me to ask: Could I help with the rebuilding efforts of his childhood church building which had collapsed in the 2010 earthquake? And so started both a friendship and a remarkable journey. Together we have made three trips down to Haiti. The first was in November 2011 to see the site, meet the engineer already involved in the rebuilding effort, and to also meet the pastors and church members. The church is meeting under a make-shift structure for worship (see photo below) next door to their church property, where a grid of footings was already dug (photo at right) based on a rudimentary, vague design. Pierre was concerned that the design did not meet the church's need. Obviously we needed to keep the foundation that was started, but could we improve on the plans? In the first meeting with the pastors, we discussed options for the design of		Texas Wild! Piney Woods Exhibit / Aligator and bear
the sanctuary (how to arrange the pews, the basic building-block element of a sanctuary). I also suggested placing the sanctuary on the second floor, leaving the secondary spaces on the first floor. In March (two years after the earthquake) Pierre and I returned to present schematic plans, elevations, building sections and other drawings. The design was excitedly received, helping to give the church an encouraging vision for a way forward. Finally, we made a third trip in July, bringing with us a set of construction drawings and an Excel file with quantity take-offs of all materials and possible project costs. So now Eglise Baptiste de Damien has a means of accurately estimating construction costs and establishing a realistic target for fund raising. The next steps, to prepare a fund-raising campaign and carry on with the construction, is in their hands.		Eglise Baptiste de Damien, Haiti Schematic Design Presentation	Texas Wild!

In addition to comprehensive building system upgrades, pool repairs, and site and building envelope improvements, interiors were improved and enlivened.
