Paul in Haiti

For one of the scholarship applications that Paul is filling out, he is able to give a web address of art or photos (that, I assume, represents himself and/or how he has/can/will apply the skills he anticipates learning). So, for that reason, here are the photos he chose, taken our August 2008 mission trip to Haiti:






Visiting with children at Notre Maison, the home for children with special needs that my family supports.

Helping to move a generator "Haitian style" (i.e. lots of people, lots of talking/arguing, slooow progress)

Playing soccer at Coram Deo

Visiting with Jean Charles (Sonson) at Coram Deo

Entertaining one of the little boys at Notre Maison.

Walking along the beach to the village of Bord Mer Lasalle

Sonel, one of the boys that was walking with us, stepped on a thorn. Paul cleaned and bandaged his wound...

...and then ended up carrying Sonel for most of the rest of our walk (quite the feat, considering some of the paths we were on and the midday heat).

Giving gifts to Jean Marc, one of the little boys we sponsor at New Missions.

Jean Marc

We also gave Jean Marc and his family a goat.

Helping Jean Marc's mom situate the suitcase on her head so that she could carry it back to their hut.

Playing with some of the boys at St. Joseph's Orphanage.

Helping to transport beds from one guesthouse to another.

All right, there are his photos. If anyone is interesting in learning more about what we do in Haiti, feel free to contact me or visit our website. Also, we love having people join us on trips to Haiti, so let us know if you'd be interested in coming on a future trip.
