Everyday has just been an incredible, joyous and humbling journey that Christ has been allowing me to share with the most loving and selfless people and children in Danita's Orphanage and the surrounding area here in Haiti.
I have never been so blessed and had so much fun cleaning an outside sink that the ladies in the kitchen use. It has been clogged for a few weeks. I have my two new friends and translators helping me. Their names are Isaiah and Woodson. Here in Haiti you learn to improvise with any tools available, example; a shop vac, machete and a piece of rebar. It was a community event. To make a long story short, we extracted five plastic cups, one complete hose bib, two scrubbing pads and a whole mango.
The kitchen staff couldn't control their laughter every time we pulled a new "item" out of the drain. They kept pointing fingers at each other every time we pulled something out. Everyday is a new adventure and I'm looking forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Thanks Pat, Isn't it amazing how simple things like pulling stuff out of a drain can make everyone laugh. The Haitians almost have an advantage over us not being polluted with all the junk we call entertainment in the US. God Bless you and all the kitchen ladies
