We arrived in Jacmel around 8:30 on Tuesday night... we ended up driving through the mountains at night to get here! Our driver was very good! I felt safe at all times!
When we got to the Cyvadier, Christophe had prepared some langouste for us which we ate in the new open air restaurant over looking the ocean! I was so happy to see all the work that had been done since I was last here.
Yesterday, we spent part of the day at Pazapa, one if not the only community based rehab programs in the country - it is also a school. All the kiddos here have disabilities. They have purcahsed some land by Jacmel airport and our currently working under semi-permanent structures. The ground is rocky but it is big and it was wonderful to see children playing football (soccer) at recess.
The team was very busy - I only got through half of the kids I needed to see for language assessments, but will be back to do the rest on Friday.
We came home and went for a swim in the ocean, which was probably about 28C. It felt great! We then went into Jacmel to support local artisans! Such beautiful things... YES I bought more art!!!!
It was an early night last night - the fatigue is kicking in!!!
Today we're off to do home visits with Pazapa... and then we will go check out a new non-profit rehabilitation program.
Off to take a shower - hoping this will be my first warm shower since I've been in Haiti!
Bon bagay!
