The week that changed my life....

So I still don't know what to write about my time spent in Haiti, and I'm hoping I do one day soon, because it needs to be shared. So here are some pictures.









 





Plenty happened that week we did so much painting I thought my arms would fall off, we got to cuddle and play with so many precious children I didn't think I'd be able to leave. We actually witnessed a protest gone bad which turned into more of a riot, when I say witnessed it was more like we where stuck on a hill in the middle of it not able to leave without armed escorts, I was a little scared I had never heard a gunshot before (apart from at the range) so it was intense but they were just shooting in the air to scare people (that's what i was told). Haiti is in bad shape, not just because of the devastating earthquake, but the corrupt government, voodoo, and lack of law enforcement. I feel such a connection to this country now and can't wait to go back.

I'm writing a post in a few days about a group of amazing ladies I came across,and one about the orphanage we visited but in the mean time feel free to check out www.mohhaiti.org .
