The kids always wanted to do our hair - this picture was after they finished mine.
This young man takes a solitary moment after finishing school for the day. The Missionary team that came before ours built the shelves and red picnic tables to the right.

The way we got around.  You need sturdy vehicles to travel in Haiti.





Some of our team members cleaned the children's teeth - the kids were placed at opposite ends of the table and they comforted one another with their feet.

On the coast of Jeremie at the dock.  Two fishing boats.

The river is where many bathe, do laundry, water their animals, and retrieve drinking water.  People are always walking on the road with water.



Francis had been abandoned at the orphanage by his 14 yr. old Mother, she, a victim of rape and incest.  He barely survived as a baby and is developmentally behind, but is a special little boy who found great comfort being with our team members. "Safe" might be a better word - because of his size and development problems, Francis is often a victim of bullying.
Francis tries to smile for his picture.
Matthew 25:40
“I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
