Bright smiles, lifted hands, and joyful spirits were the sights and sounds of the day!
The group headed out bright and early to attend a local sunrise church service. The community did not let the fact that there was not electric this morning stop them from offering praises to God through spoken prayers, raised hands, and the shared Word. While we may not have understood everything that was being said, it was apparent that the Holy Spirit was present and what an incredible blessing it was to be a part of a communal celebration of our Amazing Heavenly Father!
We had the privileged of delivering water to various locations in Cite Solei. It was truly an indescribable experience. To get off the tap tap and be instantly greeted by warm, loving, and happy children who are simply grateful to see you and spend time with you was incredibly precious and moving. We helped to deliver water, held children, played games, and spent time talking to those in the community.
We were able to tour the 28 acre Fleri Farm and hear about the vision and plans of expanding the already growing polyculture approach to farming which includes various produce such as bananas, mangoes, tomatoes, papaya, limes, eggplant, and cherries. In the near future, there may be plans to develop a collaborative project with the students of Hope School to teach them the basics of farming and agriculture.
We ended the day with our Haiti "family" in laughter and boding as we shared our experiences of the day, told funny stories, and showed some of our talents. Did you know that we have a professional Irish dancer on our team? We will leave it to you to figure out who:)
God Bless!
