Today was our second water truck day.  Our first stop was in City Solei where we were mobbed with beautiful Haitian kids.  We had a great time dancing with them and singing "head, sholders, knees and toes."  The kids were over joyed to see us but not as excited as we were to be with them.  

On our way to our second water truck stop we stopped at a fishing dock.  Where we got to help the Haitian fishermen bring in a huge fishing net.  It was cool to see the kind of work the fishermen have to do on a daily basis.  Their hands were covered in calluses and bilsters. The net was heavy and far away so it took forever for us to pull it in.  Half of our team pulled in the rope with the three Haitian fishermen, while the rest of us danced on the dock and talked with the kids. It was awesome to experience 30 minutes of a day in the life of a Haitian fisherman. 

At our second water truck stop Steph decided to bandage Haitian kids with open wounds on their bodies.  The kids were so happy to be recieving care from Steph and were very tough when dealing with pain.  It was super cool to watch Steph care for the children and to see the smiles on the children's mothers faces.  While Steph was having a clinic out of the back of the tap-tap.  Tyra was holding a super cute baby that pooped on her.  That made all the Haitians and the team laugh.

On the way to the third stop Megan wasn't feeling the greatest.  So Maxim (our driver/translator) pulled over and bought Megan an ice cold bottle of water from a stand on the street to put behind her neck an was constantly checking on her to make her through out the rest of the day to make sure she was feeling ok. How sweet!!!!!

The third water stop was chaotic but everyone was enjoying themselves.  Especially when we saw a Haitian little boy dancing on the roof.  We had a great time at the third stop.  But at the end of the day everyone was so exhausted that when we got home we all took a nap until it was dinner time.  

Overall the day was great!!  We really came together as a team today.   Thank you Haiti!!!

Love,

Megan and Lydia
