Today we woke up, had breakfast and got ready to go deliver water in Cite Soleil. After delivering water we were planning on going to the General Hospital to pass out care packages and visit with the people waiting to be seen and waiting for their relatives.
But, right before we got in the truck to leave we were told that we weren't going to Cite Soleil because their was a possibility of some unrest because a former president who had followers in Cite Soleil was on trial for corruption. Our team did an awesome job being flexible and in no time we had come up with an alternative - Wednesday became Thursday for us and we were getting ready for a new set of plans.
We changed and got ready to go to Grace Village for a tour of their facility. Before we left we bought a hot meal for each of the 5 elders that we were visiting who live near Grace Village in a town called Titanyen in the afternoon.
Grace Village is an incredible place. The highlight was that one of the orphans - Ronaldo, gave us most of our tour. We saw the feeding center, the dorms, the new homes being built, the doctor/dentist office, the school, the hydroponics and the bread/pizza ovens.
After our tour in Grace Village we prepared to visit 5 people in the elder program. We went from home to home either walking or driving and when we arrived we washed their feet, arms, hands and legs, prayed with them, sang them songs and visited with them.
After a spaghetti dinner some of us went next door and played soccer with some of the guys in the neighborhood.
It was another full, fun, challenging, eye opening and inspiring day in Haiti. We feel so blessed for our team, for your prayers, for the experiences we have had, for the staff taking care of us in Haiti and for what is ahead of us in the next few days!
Good night.
