There is a group of parents leaving for Haiti on Friday. They are going to visit their kids and sign some paper work. We are anticipating that our turn for this type of trip will be in the fall sometime. Each person that goes to the orphanage takes two 5o pound suitcases filled with formula and other essential food and supplies that are unavailable to our children in Haiti. This is all part of the donation program set up to provide the best possible care for our kids. Other orphanages that do not have this support have to give the kids flour paste to fill their little tummies. I am so grateful for the nutrition our kids are receiving. We are gathering formula for our turn already. This effort is organized and maintained by one of the moms and the link to the site is at the right.
We have not received any updates on our kids yet, but hopefully the visiting families will be able to bring back a little information or maybe a picture or two if the kids are in the main orphanage. When the children first come, they are brought to a transition house to be cared for. They make sure they are not sick and do not have any parasites that could be shared with the other children. Because of the lack of clean drinking water nearly all of the children in Haiti have some type of parasite and skin rashes etc. are also common. With 70 children living together it is important for each child to be healthy.
Keep praying for our kid's transition and for their little hearts to know the Father's love.
