Haiti Pics
« on: October 19, 2008, 09:55:15 PM »
Hey Guys, I have a few pics here from Haiti.  I will just randomly select some pics to post in here as soon as I get them all uploaded.  I doubt it if I post all of them as there are about 520 pics.  I wouldnt want to bore you all anyways.  Here are a few that I have selected for you.

This is Kris and I with our sponsor child.  His name is Guy ( pronounced Guwee)






The "Haitian Band" while on our hike up the mountains.


Children along the hike.


Haitian mountain family.


This little girl ran into her home as I approached her.  I was going to hand her some candy but she was too scared.  So I left it on a rock near the gate.


Haitian Street Gang


Check out those tan lines...


I think I have another Son.  This is Guy and I

This child that I found at the orphanage, stood out to me. I found him stooped down in a corner crying.  He not being able to speak english, I couldnt understand what was wrong. I picked him up and just held him and wiped away his tears.  I could not get him to let go of me as he held on tight.

Reminds me of some of my mission trips.  I went to Haiti, but it was 10 years ago and I don't remember much.  I do remember getting about 8 flat tires in our van.

The kids are awesome.  The coolest kids are Jamacian.  Once word gets out that you're there at a work site, you'll have 50-100 kids show up.  They love having their picture taken.  I realized that sometimes a photo of a child reflects a lot of inner sadness, but sometimes it's because they don't know about cameras.  They give you that "what is that thing you are pointing at me" stare.  :)

In Africa we would have team members whose job was to just play with the kids who just showed up.

My wife did a vacation bible school for the kids in Guatemala (she speaks Spanish).  It can get crazy with 75 kids who don't understand what a single-file line is.
