Today was another excellent day in Haiti. I’m always amazed at the incredible love that is universal in our small world. Today we visited a new orphanage (including an on-site school) near Port Au Prince. The orphanage is called No Place Like Home - Sweet Home (NPLH). It was founded by a couple of Americans after the 2010 earthquake. Many of the original children lost their parents during the earthquake. Today, we played with the preschoolers & school age kids. Our team noticed that all the children were very well behaved and content. The teachers and staff greeted us with big smiles. It was such a good feeling to see such love and contentment.
When our team sees these great organizations working toward a better community, we have hope their future. At the end of the day, we can leave knowing that there are people taking care of these kids, giving them a chance to change a country.
So much history, hope, potential and joy in a complicated world. Sometime your have to go all in. That where the real change begins.

You picked a good week to be in Haiti. Back home, it has been the Gun Nuts vs.the Anti-Gun Nuts on tv and in the news. We have so much in our country, but can be so unhappy and discontent at times. I miss the smiles on the kids faces in Haiti. I don’t see smiles like that from the kids in the US anymore. I hope today is another EXCELLENT day.
