Haiti Mission Trip 2011




If you look close you can see one of the little girls waving hello. I snapped this shot from our hotel balcony into the orphanage. The yellow buildings are the childrens dorms. There are about 10 bunk beds in each.

This is Marsha, our Global Orphan leader. She is showing us the sewing shop they started. They are making school uniforms.


Ashley was precious with the sweet babies.


This is our room. Not bad! We had running water...cold most of the time...and more often than not we had electricty.


Dinner mainly consisted of rice and beans, chicken, and plantans.


Vicki Jenny moment!


Natasha. We had an ongoing joke everytime we saw eachother. She would say, "Hi, I'm Jenny" I would say, "Hi Jenny, I'm natasha." she always laughed at this and would want us to do it again to her friends.


These two cuties always walked over to the gate of our hotel. I would sing the spider man theme song and shoot my web at them.


Sweet KK was amazing in Haiti. The children loved her, and she loved them. My favorite was watching her run around holding hands with them, just being girls.


Some of the livestock you could see from our hotel








Natasha and her friends LOVED singing songs as I would video them. They would play them back and just laugh and laugh at themselves!


Vicki and I trying to lead a sing a long...didn't go over so well the first time.


More KK sweetness.


Jay + David = comic relief for the trip.


Just another day at the spa. Ha.


Camara was hijacked.











My favorite part of the whole trip was coloring with the kids on the orphanage walls with the children.











Marsha, gave the orphanage mothers a transistor radio that was hardwired with the entire bible in creole.


Looking up and watching this boy was my favorite moment, which also turned out to be my favorite picture.


Obviously, David had a very difficult time relating to the children.


She was all smiles all the time.


One boy drew a sad faced sun because it was raining outside.

Camera hijack






This is the little girl that I told most of you about. She is the one that fell asleep on my lap during the service.


This cracks me up. The two things the kids loved the most were our cameras and the mirrors. This is one boy who kept taking his picture in the mirror.


This was the baby of the orphanage. HIV positive. :(


Lunch. and then again for dinner.














The UN.


I'll come back to finish writing the rest of these...

O Jen great job. You have such a great story to tell. You would be writing all night if you were to tell all the stories that go with all the pictures.

What a heart you have!
