Haiti- Day 4

Yesterday was great! I'll have some of the kids blog about it later today, but I just wanted to check in with everyone and let you know we are still doing awesome!  It is still hot, but it seems as though we are getting used to it :)  Yesterday, was the perfect balance of work and play.  After two days of visiting the village and doing some small projects, we started the day off running.  We sorted a huge warehouse full of things donated to Children's Lifeline.  There were at least 100 huge boxes of clothes, towels, toiletries, shoes, blankets, etc. etc. all piled together in randomness and chaos.  10 of us sorted all of this, getting the clothes and shoes ready to be distributed to kids in the village today.  Lots of people in the group are looking forward to fitting and picking out clothes for each kid. The other 4-5 of our group, went to work painting the school classrooms.  Painting is so easy in the US; we have unlimited paint, brushes, rollers, cleaning supplies.  It is much more difficult here, but well worth the work, because the room looks awesome!  After our morning of super hard work, we gathered with the other group here from Connecticut.  We all squished onto the tiny bus and headed to a beach down the road.  We swam, relaxed, snorkeled, and ate a great dinner with our new friends.  It was so fun, spending time with all the students getting to talk about Haiti, what they are learning and what they are experiencing.  Thanks again for sending them.  They are great!  We have one more full day starting and it's promising to be another great one!
