Yesterday (Sat) we were not able to blog due to excessive internet use in the Isaiah House. Yesterday was a nice relaxing day spent shopping, swimming in the ocean, and touring the same type of buildings that will be built at the new Jacmel location. Shopping was great, Fatima had a great variety of Haitian gifts. We are all coming back with tons of Haitian souvenirs. We were then taken to a beautiful beach where we were able to relax, swim, and have some cold "sodas". After our relaxing afternoon, we headed to a newly built orphanage with the contractor, Dave, who built their buildings, and will be building Love Takes Root's buildings. They were amazing and the kids will be so happy with them. Overall it was a calm, relaxing day!
Today, we woke up early to drive back up to Port-au-Prince. We went straight to the orphanage where we spent all day with the kids. We started with eye tests and played with the children. Nail polish and temporary tattoos were a huge hit. We will all be coming home with nice pedicures, including Michael. We returned to our hotel and met with Barb's husband, Dr. Rick, and the students from Buena Vista University. We also had a meeting with the administrators from the Port-au-Prince nursing school. They will be visiting the Denver School of Nursing April 3rd through the 9th. They are interested in building a relationship and becoming our sister school. Tomorrow we will be spending the day touring their school, and hopefully visiting the hospital with them. It is a great way to spend our last day here in Haiti!
