One day of work left

Today the team continued to work on the house. A few stayed back to continue helping with stocking the shelves, shadowing in the clinic and bagging vitamins. Mrs Parvulus shared her political story of Haiti . We had cake to celebrate a team members 50 birthday. 

This night I was grateful for these young men and women who gave up their time 

To work in Haiti. 

1/2 day and then off to sightsee

The team all worked up the mountain today. Sonia , the woman, who's house they are building came for a visit in Blanchard. She was so excited. 

The team went downtown and to the national museum . They finished with dinner at Epidor . 

Today we went to church in Archai and then spent the rest of the day at the beach. Many in the group went snorkeling. 

Returned home to a nice dinner of lasagna and spinach. 

Heat continues

Today three ladies stayed back and spent the day cleaning the pharmacy depot and bagging meds and vitamins. The clinic saw quite a few people, a lot of the kids had fevers. 

The team returned a little early because the heat and dust was so intense. 

They went to a Haitian movie tonight at a tiny "theatre" down one block. 

I am checking in early tonight as we had many meetings today. More tomorrow from team members. 

Hot, sunny and more hot

The team went to work

This morning at Canaan. It was very hot. Tom had to stay back and help with the bagging of vitamins because he hurt his foot and couldn't do construction, tonight he shared that although he didn't get to

Do anything spectacular today it made him realize that each job was important. 

Most of the rest of the team did a great job even in the heat . It was a great first day.
