Today in Borel we decided to get an early start and hand out some remaining supplies. We loaded a suit case and headed to the river to find some Haitians to bless. We found many people washing clothes and bathing. One group of ladies were very excited to receive some New Testament bibles, they said they have been waiting for a bible for so long. It was a pretty quick trip but we handed out supplies to around 20 people. We decided that we wanted to find a project for some of the guys to do to earn money. We talked to the school principle for Bon Samaritan De Borel, which is located within the walls of the compound. We decided to have them clean the school yard, probably a fix that will last until tomorrow as Haitians throw trash wherever they want to. We cleaned a ton of garbage up, we hope this builds a sense of ownership from the work the guys have done, maybe they will try to keep it clean. The pictures are of Athesan, Samuel, Alex and Lama working hard, and of the load of trash collected. We paid the boys and everyone was happy, especially the principle.
Our next item on the agenda was a visit to H.A.T.S. the orphanage we visited last time. Karen is very busy but made time to sit and talk and have our kids play with hers. They loved Bronson. Hunter made friends quickly and played soccer for an hour or so.
It is always a great day when we get off the compound and meet people. We love to get into the community and talk, distribute supplies and spread love. It is great to drive down the road and hear people yell your name. It is humbling when you receive a gift from a family or the church, you know they have very little but they are giving you what they can to show appreciation. We have connected with many people on this trip and I look forward to the final few days. The beach is tomorrow, I hope St. Marc is back to normal.
