Welcome

Thank you for visiting our site. We hope we're able to convey to you a sense of the tragedy that has gripped the country of Haiti, yet at the same time, sharing the hope, excitement and love we experienced during our stay.

Welcome to Port au Prince

Welcome to Port au Prince

You're now in Haiti. To help with your transition, click (below) onto the theme song we downloaded from You Tube; sense feelings I had transitioning from one world to another....from privilege to suffering....from comfort to daily struggle for existence.

If this is your 1st visit, and especially if you're as new to this stuff as I am, the whole thing will probably make a little more sense if you head to the Blog Archive section on the right hand side and work your way down the postings, starting at "Prelude" reading " The Beginning" next, "Initial Impressions"...and so on .....etc. until you reach the bottom column. See, the stuff under the song link ( left side column) are the 2 most recent posts written. .

Please visit often and invite your friends if you feel so inclined. We'll be continuing to add new information and pictures, and plan to return to Haiti in late May. Your comments and suggestions will be most appreciated.

Time to publish!

My lack of skill at trying to assemble this has taken far too long and I often found it more frustrating to compose or arrange pictures or whatever and then having my work suddenly disappear forever. Yet I plod on, determinrd to share the story.

This initial overview (lengthy, wordy, self absorbed…many adjectives I’m sure come mind) I’ve basically covered highlights of the 1st two very galvanizing weeks in a journey neither of us was seeking or prepared for. Sure we went to help; we would then return home to resume our vital home missionary responsibilities which, for me, were pretty well centered between golf and softball, except for the increasingly frequent visits to my newly acquired friends in the surgeon community for replacement parts and fixes. Return? Not likely! But things change and more importantly, sometimes we do too.

The trek from March 6 thru our March 30 departure back to Vero will be more chronological, concise and with less fluff. Subsequent postings however will return to serious issues, such as the Haitian street children and the New Orphans, educating the Haiti orphans in the information technology age, sustaining efforts at NLCH and Pouille, and how those in the U.S. can help.
