After we arrived in Cap Haitian, we loaded up about 16 huge duffel bags of donations in a Kids Alive truck and headed to the KAI site. The truck was a 1975 army truck. The bags were loaded on top of a rack and we sat on a bench in the back of it. The town was very crowded, and unlike the DR there weren't very many motorcycles whizzing by. The buildings were all crammed together and there was quite a bit of trash on the ground. As I looked at the buildings I couldn't help but image how they could have easily crumbled just like the buildings in Port-a-Prince did from the earthquake.
We made our way through the town and just as Jeff (the KAI Field Director) was telling us that we need to be more discrete about taking pictures here than in the DR, a man hopped off a motorcycle and as we slowed down he run up and grabbed for Jenilea's camera but caught her arm instead! Jeff jumped towards him and yelled, "NO!" as we sped off. Let's just say we were a little more careful (and a little paranoid) after that.
The sweet truck we got to ride in although it wasn't sweet to have a man grab Jenilea's arm!
Jenilea and Mano (he works with Kids Alive in Haiti) with all the bags and boxes of donations.

That last picture is so sad. How scary too about the camera!!
ReplyDeleteThe donations are amazing! Who would have thought to donate doors!! How BLESSED I am for just having the little things, and yet I have so much more! GOD IS INCREDIBLE!
ReplyDeletePS. Do you think the donation of dump truck could make a difference, if a team of volunteers came to pick up as much trash as possible? Maybe create a land fill?
