Day 1

Day one was very rough. We hadn't gotten much sleep in the sirport and we hadn't eaten very well either. We were a little worried our ride wouldn't sjow up but he did! In Dallas I (Amy) met up with girl named Allison who works for Heartline in Tabarre. Lucky for us she offered to be our backup ride if ours didnt show! We followed her to Heartline ot check out their sewing program and maternity program. Both were awesome! We also bought some cool stuff that the ladies of the sewing program had made. We also gave Tara(Livesay Blog search on google) an early bday present.

After that we headed to Leogane with Bob & Pierre. We got to the orphanage exhausted but of course the joy of the kids livened us up! Jinia & Limene have left with their parents. There are a couple new girls. Many of the kids have a skin problem, and a couple have some big pustule things the size of a marble. One of the first kids we saw was Charley standing alone in the field. GWO baby=BIG baby. We got our bags out, played with the kids a little, and found out that the girls water tank was empty. So we headed to Leogane. In leogane we exchanged our money, got diesel for the generator, bought water, food & drinks and headed back to the orphanage.

When we got back we were beyond delirious. We even have trouble now remembering what we did. We went to sleep. Then Becca woke up to throw up and someone knocked at the door. Not knowing it was only 7pm Becca thought someone was coming to murder us at 2am. I(Amy) was laying in bed confused. One of the older girls was bringing us laundry she had washed from the previous team. We didnt understand took the bag and closed the door. Then we had to fix the water because it wasnt on and sicky Becca had puked. So we called Tom of Extollo(I'm sure he thought we were crazy) and somehow figured out how to turn our water on. Seriously its a miracle we understood anything. After that we went back to sleep, then 3 older girls came to the door because bob was trying to call us. I answered and said, "Bob I am sleeping bye"

After talking to Bob I started panicking and thinking I wanted to go home. No sleep, little good food, and overheating made me a little nutty. I had to get out my journal write everyhting down and pray. Then I felt better.

We slept from 6:45pm-10am. It was gooooood.
