Elder Advisory Team - Day 4 - Titanyen

We had a new team member join us today, her name is Kathy. We are so happy she is here! Our time is now complete in Titanyen...

We spent another whole day serving the beautiful Elders of Titanyen. We assessed 13 Elders today at Fleri. The activities were much the same but seemed better organized than yesterday. We saw Mariannie, Charitable, Antionette, Anchola, Altesse, Mariedeloude, Lauremise, Marieterez, Camisane, Pierre, Marie Pierre, Marie Loude, and Aloude.

After our assessments and time of serving, a few of us went to deliver a cane and some reading glasses to a couple of Elders. They were so happy. Altogether I think we were able to bring reading glasses to four Elders and it was so awesome to watch them be able to see close up! It made them very happy!

We stayed and had pizza from Fleri, then made our way home in some brutal traffic! Now, it is time to relax and chat about our day. We all need some good rest. We will be ready for our very last serving day tomorrow.

Each night we have been going over all of the Elders we saw that day, and we talk about their current condition and needs. Tonight, we shifted, and it was much needed. We did Healing Haiti's traditional Word Of The Day. I will leave you with our words...
