Hello from Haiti:
Today we went to Bassin Bleu. Check it out on Google. It was beautiful, and most of us got something checked off our bucket list. We traveled by dump truck through a forest, city, and river. Once we arrived at the destination, some of us went cliff jumping, while others of us watched.
After the fun team building morning, we went to the feeding program in the afternoon. We saw lots of kids and adults that were in desperate need of food. The feeding program is able to feed about 80 children two times a week - this meal includes rice, beans, and chicken. For most, these might be the only meals of the week. We feel so blessed after witnessing the hunger of today. We sang songs, shared Jesus with them, took photos, and fed them. The feeding program was located at the tent city's church, which is where we went next. We were fortunate to distribute 180 pairs of shoes, around 300 pillowcase dresses, and other clothing items. After seeing the day's events, we all feel incredibly blessed with everything we have.
The day was concluded by participating in teaching ESL Classes; we all enjoyed forming new relationships and making conversation with our new Haitian friends.
We are all ready for bed; it's been an exhausting, but awesome day. Thank you for your continued prayers.
Love,
The Haiti Team
