Before we left for Haiti, my sister-in- law made us a little photo journal book. In it she stuck a few photos, nothing special, just everyday photos. Photos of my family, friends, me, standing in front of a refrigerator holding my nephew, my nephews in the park, my sister-in-law and niece with a tray of birthday cupcakes… I decided to take the book down to show the kids. I watched as they gathered […]

We have now been in Haiti for almost two weeks and are continuing to adjust to our new surroundings. Pastor Francois left last week for two weeks in the States, which provided us with the opportunity to assume a little more responsibility in his absence. We are truly grateful that he has enough trust in us and, most importantly, in those who work in the orphanage and ministry, to leave and be confident […]

I’ve posted about the suffering I see here in Pignon. And it’s very real. BUT AMAZINGLY, the daily atmosphere at the Philadelphie Orphanage is one of joyful play. Here are some snapshots of playtime which, during summer break, is sunrise to sunset! Michelda moves piles of dirt around – I finally figured out she was “cooking.” Here’s the final product […]

Is WATER such a critical issue…for real?? Pastor just yelled up at me, “Sorry, Gramma Lynn. We have not water.” He’s been working on the generator all morning. But he isn’t talking about MY drinking water. He’s concerned I might not get a shower today. I’m not concerned… I have wipes, hand sanitizer, a bandana to pull back my hair. And he doesn’t let me […]

This visit I brought two new books with me that have been quite the hit. One is “My First English-Haitian Creole Dictionary.” The children LOVE looking through it to find pictures they can name. Each cute illustration has its Angle’ (English) and Creole name: dog/chyen, rain/lapli, flower/fle’, smile/souri. It also has the alphabet, colors and numbers 1-10/youn-dis. The crazy thing is that it seems to have even more words that they […]
