To find out who let the bats out, see the Shout Outs at the end!
Today, the team separated into three groups: the first group did construction at Lanzac and MPCA, the second group built and painted tables on the compound, and the third group did student physicals at MPCA (Mission Possible Christian Academy).
The team in the back of the the Mission Possible truck, on the way to one of the schools:
But Christian prefers to ride a Haitian Harley and feel the wind blowing through his hair...
After mixing cement for several days in a row, Ty figured out a new use for his shovel...

Shout Outs
Jeff and Hachemy did!
While driving from Port-au-Prince back to Lanzac after a long hot day, Jeff and Hachemy were sleepy and dozey. Jeff was rudely awakened when something hit him square on the forehead! They didn't know what it was - but the truck window was open, so it could have been anything from a coconut to a flying flip flop.
Jeff and Hachemy settled back down, preparing to doze the rest of the way to Lanzac. Twenty minutes later they were sound asleep when Hachmey felt something wiggling and squirming between his back and the seat. He groped around behind him and found the culprit.
As soon as Hachmey saw what it was - a black bat the size of a cat!!! - he threw it onto Jeff's lap. Both he and Jeff started "screaming like little girls" while Jeff scrambled to get the bat off his lap and out the window. Stat!
That's who let the bat out. Jeff! With Hachmey's help.
