Dennis - If I were selling Haiti to a TV network, I’d call it a cross between ”Survivor” and “Naked and Afraid’ with a hint of “Glee”.

Rick: Final comment – hot and humid
Elva: Haiti reminds me to be grateful everyday for the overflowing blessings we so often take for granted. I am so blessed.

| Elva - this is church - are you listening? |
Dakota: My trip to Haiti was only 2 weeks but will have an effect on me for a lifetime. It truly changed my idea of who is rich and poor, in the pursuit of happiness and what really matters.
This girl came in with major ulcers on her legs but after a few days treatments we were rewarded with as much change in her countenance as we were with the improvements of her legs.
Lynnise: Haiti has taught me that I have to be thankful for each day. I will not take healthcare for granted. So thankful for our doctors, hospitals, technology and supplies. God bless one and all!
Sharon: Haiti has taught me that Prov.3:6 “in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths” is absolutely true!
Martin: Haitian people are very receptive of new ideas and use of new equipment but find it hard to let go of old practices and traditions.
Dave & Monique:
This trip has been another small glimpse into the lives of our Haitian friends. Time and again they persevere through hardship and limited resources. We have witnessed warm smiles and hopeful eyes, gracious hospitality and abundant thankfulness.
Ceiligh: It was fun and I'm coming back.
Elma: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

We have haven't mentioned the other activities around Haiti ARISE. On the compound is a busy elementary school, technical school with an active agricultural class of 80 students, lead by Laurens and Louisa. Progress is also being made on the Children's Village and the goat farm.

| 140 kids plus adults went on a field trip to Port au Prince in this school bus and 2 taptaps. Haiti personal space is very small - there is always room for one more on the church pew, taptap or motorbike.  Heading home - sitting on the tarmac at PAP |
The unexpected delay we had by missing our flight connection in Miami proved to be such a blessing as we had an expense paid night in a lovely hotel with meals included and it gave us time to unwind, shower, get a good night sleep and spend these last few hours together. The Lord is so good and has blessed us abundantly.
Thanks to all who followed our blog.... Sharon
I am home now from Haiti and feel so incredibly blessed both by my experiences in Haiti, the love of my Haiti "family" and my life back here in Canada. Thank you to Sharon for ensuring the team blog happened every day, despite how tired we were. Love Teresa
ReplyDeleteThank you for this last blog post, Sharon. I finally got to read it. I LOVED every picture... it makes me really want to go back... one day with my little girl... but what an encouragement to see all of the progress! And to see familiar Haitian faces and "friends." I loved your teams comments too. I am looking forward to chatting with you soon. I would love to hear all about your trip and how you are doing.
