The construction ladies went with the medical team to an orphanage in Port au Prince. There were 16 children who were actually very well taken care of. I was impressed. I cut their little finger nails which was emotional for me. I think of my boys and the love and care they receive daily and these precious babies who have no one in the world to cuddle and love them. What an honor for me to spend time with them. I love them so much and wish I could do more than cut their finger nails, give them hugs and kisses, and some clothes. We were able to spend an hour or so playing and singing songs. The smiles were priceless. Goodbye was hard and I will remember each little face as I pray every night.
After lunch we headed back to the construction site. Again the volunteers were excited to see us. We had quite the fan club. The village we worked in was pretty much like the rest. The children were precious and loved to show us their art work or how they write their names. I did figure out how women use the bathroom, they just squat wherever they are and pee. The world is their bathroom!!
We built two shelters after lunch then headed back to the compound for the evening.
