rewind: back to Haiti

So I never really got around to getting any of Dave's Haiti pictures up here. Those of you that know my husband know he never carries a camera and winces in pain when I pull it out :-) Thankfully our friend, Doug Tensen, shared all of his with us! He took some great shots and has a real eye for photos I think! There are a lot here, but I was trying to pick from about 400 shots and they were all SOOOO good! Just a glimpse of Dave's trip to Haiti 5 months ago (already?) and some of the things he did. He'd like to go back sometime, together. Pretty amazing trip! And, his group was awesome!! If you are ever interested I have a whole file full of pictures to see :) Enjoy!

Boarding the plane that took them into the area where they stayed. Lots of turbulence.

Some of the school girls getting their mid day meal. Many of the kids sponsored are given their only meal a day at the school here. A privilege to attend.

Dave got a little hoop ball in during his visit.

Shawn, Randy, and Dave getting off the plane. They landed in a grassy field...it was their "runway".

Haitian women heading to market, I think?

Love this picture of a little Haitian girl.

This is considered a VERY NICE house in Haiti.

All smiles in the street. A lot of the children are naked and just wander through the village. However, crime is very low in this area.

An outside classroom.

The kids loved Dave's bald head! "tet-kah-lie" they called him (means bald man)!

They often had to get off and walk when driving from one place to the next because of huge ravines in the dirt roads. Their main passage routes.

The guys loading up the truck with rice. They usually traveled with anywhere from 1-20 people in a truck.

Dave passing out bags with school items in them for the students.

Riding in style again!

A friend of ours, Judy, giving the salvation message to a group of children. That is a translator next to her. At the end, each child raised their hand to accept Jesus into their heart.

A goat can feed a family for a long time when they are trained to care for them properly.

The group. Dave had such a great time with them! Really a fun crowd.
