Today we travelled to Gonaives to visit an orphanage that is supported by the 500 Club in the County. Mission Possible 's Pastor Herve graciously decided to bring Bleach, about 12 cases of bottled water, food and supplies.


We arrived at the orphanage at 10:30 after an hour and half drive north. Pastor Ismorin Noel met us in the centre of town and we followed him in our van down very narrow side street to Judee Center for Orphaned Children. We had brought medical staff but we were extremely happy to find out that the 4 children with cholera were receiving treatment in the hospital and that the remaining children were very healthy and happy. One week ago, the orphanage received proper water purification filters from the UN/government so it's hopeful that all the bad news reports can soon stop…. at this orphanage anyways, help has arrived. It's like one big family at the orphanage, the kids get along very well, they each have their own bunkbed! Small but nice cement building with well water right inside. They have a fairly large school/church on the second story. It's tight for that many but far better conditions than any of the other communities we have visited this past week.

We gave soccer balls to them from PEC Soccer Association and kicked the ball around for a while. The kids sang songs for us and we were off back home.


A quick bite of lunch and we headed over the school to help the other team clean up their supplies from a project they had all week to build a new health clinic. The other teams all leave for home tomorrow so it's going to be weird not having them around…but we get to experience a Haiti church service tomorrow so I'm excited about that and I expect it could go on for a big part of the day. I'm not sure what we are doing on Monday yet but our work here is done, we've seen some amazing sites and I'm missing you all and ready to be coming home in just a few short days.

I love you all. Dad
