“Piti Piti n’ap rive”. Which means, “little by little we will arrive”. That was the heartbeat of what we saw today. To say this trip is multi-faceted would be an understatement. We arrived in Titanyen which literally means “less than nothing”, the message that the community hears, but doesn’t embrace. We visited Grace Village, a place where kids can come and get an education, health care, and be raised in a safe family environment.
After that, we delivered meals to the elderly and were humbled enough to wash their feet and sing worship songs with them (they even sang to us!). We witnessed joy in the midst of hardship, and it reminded us that love is rooted in Jesus and those around us.
Lastly, we visited Fleri Resto (Flourish Restaurant). This started as a bakery and was envisioned to be a school for the community of Titanyen. After listening to what the people of Haiti truly needed, it was redirected to be a bakery and restaurant in one providing sustainable jobs and career path for the community – 175 job opportunities have flourished from this idea alone.
Piti Piti n’ap rive. These little by little steps have provided a solid foundation to continue building a “city from nothing” to something. Seeing all that Healing Haiti has done the past few years is nothing short of a miracle.
