Our trip has come to an end, as every great thing must. It has been my privilege to travel with and journey through Haiti with my mom, Punky and Elise. It was a great combination. It was nice for me to return and see that much of the rubble has been cleared. Don’t get me [...]

Thoughts by Elise
This is Elise sharing my observations thus far on our Haiti trip. The whole experience has been amazing. I have to admit one of my favorite parts has been traveling place to place on the tap-tap.

Progress…

Everyday life
Life as they know it continues in Haiti. The streets feel much like they did before the quake. The biggest difference is the “neighborhoods” of tent cities still exist and I am not sure they are ever going to go away. Life is challenging, hard, and overwhelming. Although, the amount of hope that these amazing [...]

Another bitter sweet good-bye
We have had another wonderful trip. Saturday we spent the day with a team from Michigan painting the entire inside of the Christian Adoration School that Randy and Karen oversee. It was fun to see the place get transformed by the afternoon. Saturday evening we had a girl’s get together at Karen’s. It was fun [...]
