Bonswa, Friends and Family!
We have safely arrived to our destination - Grace Village, located in Carrefour, Haiti! After our red eye flight to New Yorks JFK airport, we had a couple hours to grab breakfast in the terminal and stretch out on the ground before our second flight that took us to the capital, Port-au-Prince. When we landed, we made it smoothly through customs and immigration and hopped into a big caged truck that took us to our home for the week. Lunch was served right after we got there, and we enjoyed a hot bowl of soup and hot dogs! With a long night of traveling finished, we were very excited to unpack and take a moment to relax. Several team members took naps, while others read or explored our site. Before dinner we took a walk around the campus and got to hear a little bit of the story behind Grace Village and their mission. Six Portland Police Officers who are finishing up their week in Haiti joined us for dinner and made great company. We are in good hands! Sunday will be an early morning with church service starting at 6am and more adventures to come after that. Check the blog again tomorrow night for another update!
Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
Love,
Team Haiti
Glad to hear you got off to a good start!!! Praying for the whole team, Tina Marantette
