Today our team visited the Little Children of Jesus Orphanage. Children range from 4 to almost 40 years of age and had a variety of disabilities. Upon our arrival we were greeted by happy faces welcoming us in. None of the children there were verbal and all needed assistance with feeding. This was our first task of the day! We then participated in changing beds and cribs, bathing, diapering, dressing, sweeping and mopping. During our visit we played and gave lots of affection which we received back tenfold. This was the most rewarding experience for our entire team. After returning to the compound for lunch we headed back out to explore a variety of metal shops.  Haiti is known for and takes lots of pride in their metal work. Here we exercised our bargaining skills and were pleased to come home with an array of artwork. At the Hope Houses we helped with small tasks such as painting and building a ceiling before dinner. Dinner included chicken, rice and beans, a Haitian squash dish, spicy coleslaw, and much more. We were excited to taste and experience authentic Haitian food. After dinner we had devotions and got the rundown for the next day. We are looking forward to tomorrow and the work that God is calling us to do while we are here in Haiti.
