Day 2- Haiti- August 8th 2013

       
   Day 2 
August 8th


Made by the awesomest people in the group!... Faith and Brooklyn

  Today we woke up at about 5:15am and we got ready, we were all very tired. After we got ready, all of us got in the top-top and traveled to a big church about 10 minutes away. All of our hearts were touched by the singing and the people shaking our hands and dancing even though most of us didn't understand them. After church, we got back in the top-top and went back to our colorful house ;) For breakfast, we had oatmeal, Nutella, pancakes, peanut butter, pineapple juice, and fruit.
  Next, all of us went in the top-top and had a "cray cray" drive to the water trucks. :) When everyone was going to the bathroom, this little 8 year old girl came up to Lily and hugged her. We danced and played with her until we had to go to our first water truck stop.
 The first stop had the most kids and babies. All of us younger girls didn't know what to do. We also met some of the boys that play on the Haiti soccer team. Us girls had had our nails painted and everyone loved it.
  The second stop was very different from the first. Out of all three of the stops that we made, the second one was the most devastating. It was in the poorest part of the poorest city in the world. All of the kids swarmed us, they were all just to get our attention. Some of us started playing ring-around-the-Rosie with the kids, they didn't know when to fall down so they just fell whenever they wanted to, it was still so much fun.
  The third stop had the least amount of people (probably because it was a surprise stop). In this stop the kids were really happy and energetic, its surprised all of us younger girls that they could be so happy when they had so little.
  In all the stops the kids were either trying to give us something of theirs or asking for for something.
  In the second stop I had a boy ask me for my shoes, 10 minutes later a couple of boys came up to us and gave rings to me and Brooklyn.
   Right when we got back we changed and jumped in the pool, we swam for at least 2 hours. After swimming we had taco night..... It was really good. We just got back from playing with the guard dogs and their puppy and now we are blogging. After this we are going to sing songs outside. Today was a good day overall and we are blessed to be here. :)
