Ann, Betsy, Josie and I arrived in Haiti on the afternoon of Monday, April 9. All went well with the flight, getting through the airport, and traveling through Port-au-Prince to get to Jeanette's home. I've been taking plenty of pix and have been jotting down events from the day to help me remember.
Haiti is a nation of stark contrasts. Dichotomy pervades all facet of life - the sights, the smells, the sounds, the people, the places, the environment. It's been a bit overwhelming to process, and it's just my second day in this amazingly beautiful, lush, fertile, damaged, seemingly unfixable, Caribbean country.
Today we met the students of Children in Need Haitian Project School in L'Espinasse, Haiti - a bit reserved, yet curious about these light-skinned women who are going to be working with them for a few days. So many encounters and observations today. When I have more time and a dependable Internet connection, I will write more.
For now, be well!
