Today for breakfast we had some awesome pancakes and mango. We then began work on one of the Haitian workers homes. He has been working for the the compound since he was 14 and is now beginning the process of retiring. Some of us made repairs on the roof of the house and others worked on painting two rooms on the inside of the house. We were able to finish half of the roof and get both of the rooms painting.
In the afternoon we brought the older children back to the orphanage with us. We did crafts played games and ate snacks. Right before we took them back some of the boys flipped over a 5 gallon bucket and began drumming out some sweet beats and the girls then began dancing around. One of the older girls led all the rest of them in a song and dance that they all knew. We had a small dance party which was pretty cool to see. Almost everyone joined in (even Dr. Runyan, aka Runster or Papa Run or Rev Doc Run). After dropping the kids back off at the orphanage, we stopped at a place in the market to get some good fruity Haitian drinks.
After dinner we played a good game of catch phrase as a group. All together it was a great day!!
We miss you all and love you all!! And for all of our mothers we are safe and sound and working hard.
