The first time Carl and I gave something out to the kids, I think it was Laffy Taffy’s, they just kinda gathered around silently, took a piece and said “Meci”. I figured they were scared of us, we were “blans”, new and they didn’t know us. The next few times we gave out things, they behaved the same way, waited silently till we handed them whatever we were giving out, but now that they knew us and we knew their names, they called out all the names of the kids who […]
A few weeks ago I wrote about the dismal condition of the roads in Haiti, particularly the rocky dirt road that is Haiti National Highway 3 connecting Pignon to Cap Haitien. Well, the other day I was pleasantly surprised to see dozens of dump trucks and road graters smoothing out sections of the road as they made improvements, albeit limited, to the rocky road. At breakfast that morning, I told Pastor […]
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 […]

We’ve been here for almost a week now and there is so much to say, our brains are working overtime and there is so much to take in! We arrived in Port-Au-Prince early Friday morning. We met up with our friend Leriche at the airport. We know Leriche through an Israeli friend who worked here in Haiti. He is a doctor and is opening a clinic in Leogan and we had some medical equipment for him. It was great to see a familiar face in the […]
