Haiti Day 2


Today, we got to do some painting, not my favorite activity.  But, our venue was amazing.  We went to DuCroix this morning and painted the new bathhouse.  We were on the ocean with the sound of crashing waves as background to our conversations.  Every time I go to the camp at DuCroix I am amazed at the beauty of this country.  We walked around a bit before we got into the painting.  The paint, and our time there, went fast.  Most of the building is done, we will continue and finish it tomorrow.  We had to get back in time for Bryce to catch his flight home to Kansas.

Bob, Wesley, Jude, and I took Bryce to the airport, and after, we went to a Home Depot type store.  I couldn’t believe this place.  I took so many pictures because it was similar to Home Depot or Lowes.  It can be a real game changer to building projects down here.  We won’t have to bring tools down or ship lumber from the states.  There were a bunch of employees there, ready to direct us where our needs were.  It was really cool.

I look forward to our work back at the camp tomorrow.  We have all felt very safe.  Pastor Voltaire told us that there have been no protests since we’ve been here.  As we travel the city each day, we see more vendors returning to the streets and foot traffic increasing.  The schools are still closed in the city, but the water team saw students in their uniforms out in the country.
