After spending an incredible night in Ft. Lauderdale we awoke at 3:45am to catch our 6:30am flight to Cap Haitien. Adam and I anxiously watched out the window awaiting of view of Haiti. When Haiti finally came into view we were amazed with the beauty of the water and mountains. This is our home!
Nick picked us up from the airport which is a quick process and off we went to Children of the Promise (COTP). Upon arival we were orintated and attempted to jump right in. Unfortunately we had no idea what we were doing and provided more work then help. The nannies were gracious with us. Mostly we played with kids, but we were given a chance to do some other stuff as well. We fed the children lunch, fed them snack, brushed their teeth, and joined the nannies in singing/praying. These children are such a joy.
One of my favorite parts of the day was shadowing Amy while she provided medical care to some community children and adults. Adam and I would both love to make friends with the community members. Therefore, we snuck away for a short walk through Lagossette. The town isn't very big, so it was short. This walk was incredible. Everything is beautifully green and lush. When we looked up into the mountains we had a great view of the Citadelle. And, we were able to greet some people of Lagossette. The people are kind.
