Yesterday was spent at Sr. Flora’s working on wheelchairs, providing some updates to the therapy programs, checking up the kids and sitting in on school with some of the higher functioning kids! I was very impressed with the teacher and her ability to engage the kids! My main man Enrico is so incredibly smart! I’m impressed at his intelligence! Tada is a lovely young lady who has started to write since I was here last May!
One of the kids we work with here – Sanson – has no use of his legs, but that doesn’t stop him from doing anything! He’s amazing! Has so much upper body strength and so much rhythm! Wow!!! He’s a little dare devil he zooms around in his wheelchair like a stuntman! If I can I’ll post a video of him getting himself up onto a bench from the ground!
As much as I love Ile-a-Vache, I really could do without all of the bug bites I get when I’m here – I look like I’ve got huge chicken pox…soooooo itchy OMG!!! And I’ve been lathering in bug spray! Will have to get 100% DEET next time!
Melissa and Caryn were troopers last night and slept at the orphanage to get a better understanding of the evening and morning routines! I’m sure I would have been one huge bug bite had I slept there!
Damien from Soul of Haiti joined us last night! Very exciting partnership! They have done some amazing work training and educating Haitians to be their own entrepreneurs! We visited the medical clinic that they will be helping re-develop along with the cholera center and 4 new schools that they built. Very impressive work they've done so far. All the work is done by Haitians as well!
Off for another day of work at the orphanage! Tonight – VODOO ceremony!
Bon Bagay!
