As hot as Haiti

It was extremely hot here in Haiti today. I don't think I've ever sweat this much! A group of us went to town and helped distribute milk/formula and rice to mothers. It is a program Tina started to help mothers in need. I have much admiration for Tina because of her continuous sympathy and heart for this community even after all these years yet still has the ability to divide what little she has in the best way possible. It was very hard to see women get turned down because there wasn't the funds to help everyone. I certainly wouldn't want to be the one making those decisions. She had to cut 60 woman last week, turn 150 down today, and added 20 new woman.

At one point I went outside to get more boxes of rice and this Haitian woman approached me with her young child. I couldn't understand what she was saying and although I tried to communicate to her that I didn't speak creole, she still insisted on getting my attention to fill her need. As I walked away while she was pushing her baby girl towards me, my heart was breaking.

After suffering through the heat for the afternoon, a dip in the ocean felt wonderful! I have to say the view of the coast from Haiti is amazing!!




We ended the night with our group devotion and a round of euchre. I have to say I am exhasuted! Not sure what tomorrow will hold but I know there will be another lesson hidden for me.
