A bit about Haiti

This sweet little girl always had a smile on her face and was Happy, Happy, Happy!  I met
her at New Life Children's Home in Port au Prince, Haiti.  Myself and the team I served
with for a week had been told many of the children at the Orphanage have disabilities.
New Life is known for taking in children that others won't.  The older children take a bus  to school while the children in wheelchairs or bedridden are taken out under the shade trees
every day to get some fresh air.  Some are taken out on small mattresses so they can be outside.  Thank God for the workers who do all they can to assist in the daily routines needed for these children.

I wish I knew everyone's name I met, I don't.  I can tell you that I loved going to the Home while they were outside and loving on them the best I could.  Very few spoke and if they did I couldn't understand them.  But I could understand the smiles, laughter, love and joy coming from each of their faces as people came to spend time with them.  Big Huge smiles always greeted us!!

One of the teams serving that week had brought in new wheelchairs that could be specifically set up to meet the needs of the child.  They spent a full day reading directions and getting the chairs set up properly, one child at a time.  Those of us worked that worked off property that day heard heart warming stories as the children realized they were getting a chair specially fitted to them.

  It is our understanding that squeals of joy, happiness, laughter, and love could be heard throughout the day.  How about those new pink Crocs to go with her wheelchair!

So much in my heart that I want to share, hard to find the words.

Thanks to all those who have supported my desire to go and serve.

It will always be an honor and a privilege.
