Is Haiti ready for this team?? They are from Oceanway 1st- and full of Northside spunk, grit & energy!- (I can say that- I live in Marietta when I’m not in Haiti!!) We’ve had a great time planning & packing with them. Here are some packing pictures. Kelli- Look at Sarah back there- she’s always giggling at new groups. Rusty says shes counting how many...

It was an interesting day. We started early arriving at the airport 2 1/2 hours before our flight. It was a madhouse! There must have been a couple hundred travellers trying to check in for an international flight. Every Haitian in South Florida had an early morning flight to Port-au-Prince. And us. Soon they put up a security tape and lined up all the Haitian passengers behind it....

NO! Of course not- would I be writing this if we were?? Actually, if we had a pedal plane we just might get there sooner! Our flight to Port-au-Prince was delayed- the plane was late arriving in Jax, so we’d be about 30 minutes late taking off. OK, no big deal. We almost always have at least 1 delay (often a couple) so we plan for it. After boarding and starting out to the runway, we were...

by Karin White mission team participant The photographs of two children from a home near the orphanage were heartbreaking and difficult to believe. The story that is told of their family is even harder to hear. A visiting doctor was summoned to the home to examine the crippled mother and check the health of the children. The two dirty children who were playing near...

Ethan had surgery to place tubes in his ears and remove his adenoids today. He did great with the surgery and is home now. He was whiney & hard to console this afternoon- We’re praying for a good night (sleep for everyone), minimal pain, and a quick recovery. It’s our hope that the surgery will reduce the # of infections, keep the fluid drained off, & improve Ethan’s hearing...

June’s medical clinic was very successful. We had a great team of willing hands, adequate medicine for the patients we saw, and we were able to provide both help & hope for many families from our village. A lot of preparation goes into doing a clinic. It begins in the US with making contacts and gathering meds & supplies (and funding). Then everything has to be condensed & re-packaged....

Part of what I enjoy most about mission life in Haiti is the babies. I get to be Mama Cheryl to literally hundreds of children. My reward- more hugs and kisses than you can imagine. This is Dourison (held by Juna who loves babies, too). Dourison is almost 3 months old and is the newest addition to our Haiti family. His mother is mentally ill and unable to care for him. She has abandoned him for days...
