“You came with full and heavy bags, but you aren’t leaving with empty ones. They are filled with love and hope from the people of Haiti.”

-Mr. JnMarc Genois, social worker at PID

Wednesday May 10

  1. Haiti is hot; I've been comparing it to a steam room all day. 

  2. PID seems like an amazing organization and I appreciate their work.

  3. It dawned on me how much I enjoyed good showers, air conditioning, and effective communication.

  1. These kids have a huge capacity for love even without language. 

  2. Manual labor is much more work than I thought and people who do it need more recognition. 

  3. Haitians take huge amounts of ownership in everything going on in their lives. 

Friday May 12

  1. Even though I hate our health care system, today made me so grateful for it. 

  2. Kreyol is hard and not a fluid language. 

  3. In Haiti there is no point in having a clock or a schedule because everything is soon.

Saturday May 13

  1. There are layers of trash all over Haiti. The pollution is awful and leaves a haze in the air.

  2. I will never complain about a pothole in America again after these roads. 

  3. Being around the same 20 people for this long in hot packed quarters is a lot for me. 

Sunday May 14

  1. It was hard to realize Haiti might not ever be a developed country.

  2. Haiti's love for the lord is something that is so inspiring and needed everywhere.

  3. The iron market is extremely colorful and the men working were compassionate with us and each other.

Monday May 15

  1. The language barrier is hard, which makes the relationships that more meaningful. 

  2. Haitians work hard and want a better life, but the government doesn't give them that opportunity. 

  3. Haitian food is so good. SO VERY GOOD. 

​​Wednesday May 17

  1. The Haitian airport is extremely frustrating in the way they treat people.

  2. Hearing the stories from the Haitian people at PID gave me so much hope for the people of Haiti.

  3. I hope to go on another trip like this with a company like PID.

Tuesday May 16

  1. I don't do well with goodbyes. My heart aches as we leave these kids. 

  2. Pushing yourself is when the best work gets done. 

  3. Everything in Haiti is unfinished; even the most important things like the earthquake memorial.
