Let me start with this...an amazing day! As we rode in our tap tap I was able to see the many people whose complexion was like mine. The extremely bumpy ride enhanced our experience which have given us a more realistic understanding of the daily life here in Haiti. However seeing the faces causes me to consider their actual lives...are they here buying dinner, are they here to sell items in order to buy food for dinner, are they the driver of their own tap tap? All of the questions were running through my mind, yet our focus was on our favorite Deaf school we were anxiously journeying to.
Once we arrived at the school we were greeted by beautiful children signing and smiling! This was the highlight of our day. This made every bump and every twist and turn worth the travel. The students are vibrant, accepting and smart. They will melt your heart with the large eyes signing to the unexpected guest "Beautiful...you!" Leaving today was difficult, but was made more bearable knowing that we will return later this week.
Yes this was a long day, one that is just the beginning of our life changing week.
