With the roosters very quite this week, we all enjoyed a wonderful night's rest and woke up to another beautiful Haitian morning. Clinic started at 8:00 after we joined the patients with praise & worship. The morning ran smoothly as we shuffled through the patients. Deb even enjoyed a dance with a grandpa while they waited in line. After lunch we continued painting our masterpiece of the map of Haiti on the patio wall. We had a surprise visit from Ronald, Three Angels' grounds keeper, when he stopped by to proudly show us his drivers’ license. He has been taking classes and just passed his test. Bravo, Ronald!
The afternoon travels took us to the Eagle Supermarket and into the heavy traffic as we headed to the The Apparent Project house again to pick up orders. We learned that the President Martelli will be visiting there this summer to check out the program. WOW! How exciting for these Haitians who are working so hard to make their lives better through these works of original art.
We headed to the orphanage, once again, where we were going to supervise Dr. Jack as he put in a stove. Unfortunately, the store did not deliver all of the stove pieces. Dr. Jack was probably relieved that he could do this at a later date without our help. We delivered Pi Wi Lei’s to all of the orphans and checked their TB test. They all passed with flying colors!!! Not one of them seemed to remember that we poked them with the shots on Monday.
Thoughts about going home are passing through our minds. Why is it so much easier to concentrate on serving others in Haiti? Why do we subject ourselves to the hustle and bustle of such busy lives once we enter our homes? No, we won’t think about leaving Haiti yet….not today anyways.
We started painting on the Haitian cities of the map and finished the border. We just have tomorrow to complete our master piece, so we will need a full night’s sleep!
Bon Wit,
Joan, Kelly & Deb
