First Presbyterian Church News (Clarksville, TN)

La Gonavans must make a life-or-death journey to the mainland of Haiti to procure what their island cannot produce. They face unsafe boats, robbers, and kidnappers along the way. Though resilient and independent, they are suffering due to rising dangers and inflation. Please hold the people of La Gonave in your heart and mind. We are partners with them through joy and pain.
