Kids bathed by street

 Went to Cite Soleil to delivered fresh clean water to them.  We haven't had rain at all this week so they are out of fresh water.  Usually, if rain came and they would just put their pails in street to catch the rainfall.. So we were very busy all morning with lots of pails line up.




Saw TWO deaf children in one site. At first, leader told me to come and let me know he's deaf and saw right away other kids were bully at him. I told others to knock it off and I am deaf too. And they realized I am just like anybody else. Then they leave him alone and walk away, this boy(about 6) was so happy and play ball with others little kids in circle. Big glow on him when one one bully him. Then met deaf girl at the same place. She s about 10 and has a bright blue eyes. Beautiful girl. Both has been using homemade sign language.. No way to communicate with them but at least I showed them that I can do anything by working with water. So its kinda like looking up a big role model for them so they can feel they can be normal down the road. Which is nice feeling.

Then went to last stop and we all walked toward by the ocean and everyone who was the first time going there were just so out of mind looking around with lots of garbage, human waste, everything right between metal shack and ocean. It was just so heart wretching to see this and children walking thru this mess like its not there to them. Most have NO shoes,  one kid saw broken glass and guide one of our team around it. Kids are really protecting US not them. They don't care about them. We remind them WE do care about them. Its what GOD want us to... Other kids saw mud on one of team legs and kid washed it off but not themselves.. That's what hit us hard. .

Alyn (one of co founder of Healing Haiti) said "What is GOD trying to teach me?"  This is what teaching us to understand and accept other side and not to complain what we don't have.  We all should appreciate what we have and not demanding anything more. Its true. I mean. Kids walking around no shoes,  some barely has clothes to wear. no luxury things to have. THEY are still finding a way to be HAPPY.  Its what GOD want everyone to be. And GOD want us to serve others in need. That's is why I am doing this...

Comfort her after she was heart-wrenching to see everything

Took a break and went swimming in the pool at hotel by our guesthouse. Nice feeling in the cool water. Before we leave to Home of dying/sick kids.


Went to Home of dying/sick kids. It's a home where parents can't afford to get the kids to hospital to care the kids so send it to this place where it runs by the Nuns. Usually in past kids don't make it past 5 years old but now its improvement.  Not many kids have died so which is great news to know. Too many kids with less staff so need a lot of help from outsider by holding the kids and feed them more of giving LOVE and AFFECTION. Just to let them know there are people that care them to give them have a FAITH that they can beat the odds..About 40 to 50 kids..

 Walked around the cribs and happen to pick one of little kid and notice her from last August trip. She's the one that cling on my chest with her long nails when I tried to put her down. So when I rub on her and she just grab my hand to keep rub and so I gave her my both hand and she grab and hug me. She's 2 years old. Her name is Anlino. Now she looks lot better and wellness.. Went outside in cool shade because it was so hot inside the building. And fed her oatmeal.  She was exciting to be fed. I thought of keep her until it's time to leave. I notice dirty on her arm and hand so I cleaned it off then somehow she did the same thing to me. So cute and smart. Its like I'm taking care of her and she's returning it back. That bought me happy. And when its time to leave. I put her down and she accepted and just relax back.  Hoping to see her again next time I come back again in next trip...(when?) .
