Haiti

Well I just got back from a very short trip to Haiti with Global Family Philanthropy. It was very interesting and good to see how things are going. The whole situation of Haiti is still very frustrating and sadening to think about all the displaced people, jobless, hungry and with little to no access to restrooms and showers.

The tent cities are big and numerous. As we drove out of Port Au Prince every soccer field and open space were covered in tents and makeshift homes. The middle of the road had makeshift homes because people were unable to build them anywhere else. The situation is still desparate.

As we got into Les Cayes and were able to see the Espwa kids again and some of the other places that have children and schools it was more heart warming and encouraging. Espwa alone has taken in over 200 children and its very obvious. The need for food and clothing is great and people are responding. The biggest issue is getting the needed money, clothes, and food distributed to the right places.

I am going back to Haiti in two weeks to work on a few different projects. I am very excited and will be able to tell you much more about these projects once I get down there. In the meantime check out the website www.eduplushaiti.org to see what Paige and I have been working on and will continue to be doing.

The Lord is great and it is more than evident now that this was meant to happen. I am going to be in Haiti at least until July or August working in Les Cayes. I am so thankful to have so many opportunities and to be able to let God lead me into the places He needs me to be.
