Blogging by Becci

Good Morning friends!  Sorry for no blog last night, wifi issues!!

Yesterday the team went to Home for the Sick and Dying.  This home is very emotionally challenging.  Yesterday was also food distribution day and when we pulled up there were lines and lines of people waiting to pick up food.  We served 750 families and they received about 50 pounds of food to serve them for the month.

It is impossible to describe the emotions we all felt from holding these very sick children.  It is so amazing that the universal sign language when a child holds their arms you know they just want to be held.  There were many diapers changed, many children held, and a few tears shed when we arrived and when we left.

We made a quick stop at Apparent Project where parents learn to make beads out of cereal boxes. This supports families in the communities.  We bought a few souvenirs to support the community.

The last stop was Gertrude's Orphanage where there are 45 children that live there of which half are severely disabled.  We played with the kids and gave the staff a break.  It was fun wheeling the kids around the courtyard and making them laugh!!!

Today we are off to serve water to Cite Soleil!  More pictures and words tonight!
