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. -
