Haiti--Day of Arrival
Flights were great although RDU is much harder to fly out of than Greensboro. They are very strict on the weight of the bags which is something we didn't experience in November. The airport was chaos which was expected. There have been quite a bit of improvement since being here in November and also alot of change. The police are doing alot of checkpoints and trying to keep their people from being exploited.
We were told on arrival that there is going to be an announcement on wednesday regarding the Haitian election. Unfortunately they are expecting more rioting and the anger is directed toward Americans as they believe we are influecing their election. So...we will be watching carefully to see what transpires.
We spent the afternoon going through medicines and packing them for the clinic. We will be doing more tomorrow. Me and another girl will be spending the morning sorting through clothes to get ready to take them to the orphanage.
