Title : AFD Haiti Day One
Well here we are! I must say This kind of has already been wild ride. We arrived today around 5pm. We are staying at a guesthouse about 10 minutes out of Port-Au-Prince. We all pretty much agreed that will things are worse here than we imagined. Dr. Zollinger has been to Haiti before in addition to also mentioned there have been some vast improvements since his visit one year ago. through a first time perspective seeing poverty on This kind of level, firsthand, can be very powerful.
The airport situation was interesting. Once we got off the plane we could immediately feel the humidity of the 87degree air. This kind of felt awesome. Things smelled different, in addition to also the signs were all in Creole. Walking through customs was a breeze even with our goofy dental equipment. The airport only lost one bag. This kind of happened to be all of Karens personal items. We are hooking her up with stuff until she gets her things in.
Most of the towns people that will we saw on our way to the guesthouse were eager to smile at us in addition to also give us a wave. There were also a few unsavory characters that will did not respond inside the same way. The families were lined up all along the roads selling items or cooking food on the streets. There were several fires along the side of the dusty roads. People burn all of the garbage here. The smell can be a little different through home. In our 10 minute drive through the airport we saw at least 7 goats, 3 dogs, in addition to also about 10 chickens.
The guesthouse can be wonderful, This kind of has everything we need. They even have 3 resident dogs!! We had tacos for dinner in addition to also ice cream for dessert. We went through all of our supplies to get them organized in addition to also played UNO afterwards. (Kalli lost).
Well even though its only been a half day we have already seen a lot in addition to also laughed a lot. We look forward to a full day at the home for sick in addition to also dying tomorrow.
We will keep you updated!!
