Today was a great day. Once again the temp was in the mid 90's with extremely high humidity (nothing new for Haiti). Hopefully our family and friends back in the US are enjoying warmer weather too, at least above freezing!
Once again we broke into 3 teams today:
Construction Team: After a backlog, the staining and painting team finally caught up on all the staining and painting of desktops, backs, seats, and teacher storage cabinets.....for now! The painting and staining team also learned a little Creole in the process. The remaining members of the construction team showed Haitian men how to weld with the help of an interpreter.
Sewing Team: The sewing team traveled to the Mission Possible school in La Hatte. It was a dusty trip, they climbed up a curvy, narrow dirt road in an open air cattle truck. Once they arrived the team taught a class of 32 ladies, who walked from neighboring villages. The school in La Hatte doesn't have electricity, so the ladies worked on their market bags, which they will use to carry grocery from the market.
Medical Team: The medical team also traveled to La Hatte and administered physicals and vision checks on over 60 students that attend the Mission Possible school. The team treated a variety of issues ranging from anemia, ear infections, to fungal skin and scalp issues.
As promised in this morning's post - here are pics of the entire Mission Team. Can you spot your family member or friend?
