Haiti, Jan 28 - Feb 4, 2016

Maylon and Winn are putting counters in the kitchen. Construction crew is playing and
working hard at the playground. There are some local kids helping too. Tyler was using a Haitian boy to measure the depth of the holes. The boy loved it.

The medical team had a wonderful time with the kids. They went to two schools so far. The kids sang

a known worship song and then they asked the medical team to sing it back to them in English. Thankfully they knew the song.  Was a special time!

Liane has been cooking up a storm and the team are helping here and there.  The sewing group assisted the 21 ladies at Degeance  in making quilts.

Little girls met us at the bottom of the mountain to help carry medical supplies.

Long trip up the mountain for Liane.

We started off at church, then had a Haitian lunch that included the most delicious lalo - which is a jute, spinach and fish dish.

Jody played two songs on her flute, which was our Special Music at church. 

After church, we spent the afternoon at community clinic (which was in the church sanctuary). What did we see and do? A little of everything!

Today, the team separated into three groups: the first group did construction at Lanzac and MPCA, the second group built and painted tables at the Mission Center, and the third group did student physicals at MPCA (Mission Possible Christian Academy).

But Christian prefers to ride a Haitian Harley and feel the wind blowing through his hair...

After mixing cement for several days in a row, Ty figured out a new use for his shovel...

Steve is looking for something to haul in his wheelbarrow. 

Party at the end of the day!

Another good day in Haiti. Medical started out at Lanzac and proceeded to LaHatte for the remainder of the day. Construction was at MPCA and at the Mission Center doing many different chores. Sewing went to Degeance for the morning.

Tell me when it hurts..
