Day 2 in Haiti, our first official work day, and I would say it
went very well, emotional to say the least. This morning we met and decided who
would go where, and then got on our new favorite vehicle a “tap tap” (you “tap”
when you need to stop or go) to take us up to the community.
I (Kate) and Betsy went with Dr. Josh to the clinic. Chad, Lyle, Connor,
Rick and Earl all went to the construction site. Janelle, Rebekah and Sara
stayed with the women to help out with the cooking for the Feeding Program. For three hours we all stayed at our
work sites, then re-gathered for our Lunch & the Feeding Program, it was
such a great experience to be able to serve so many children one solid meal
today, and guess what, we get to do that EVERYDAY…I was even more grateful for
it when I saw a couple of my “loves” (local children that I have attached too)
eat dinner later on in the evening, which was basically water as a broth and
crumbles of some sort of meat, very saddening!! I am very proud of us all,
Rebekah did Part Two of the Trauma seminar, a great turn out and the Haitians
were very very receptive tonight, GOOD NEWS, she might have impacted a lot more
people then she thought she would!! And as for me, I am enjoying my kiddos
and the relationships I am making, it really humbles me and makes me wonder what
God really has in store for me. Is Haiti my new home?! Does God want me to
become a permanent volunteer fixture in this community?! Oh the questions your
mind comes up with the second we walk out of the hotel lobby…Anxious to see what
tomorrow has to bring!! Much Love to You All, Keep on Praying for Us &
Bon-nu-wee (Goodnight)!! Psalm 32:11
