A Great Ending of an Awesome Trip

Maggie Kane ~ Yesterday was a great ending of an awesome trip. We went to the orphanage, and the kids there were so cute and just loved to be loved. It was so cool being where Mother Theresa lived and worked. We then went to the museum, which wasn't really up my alley but still …

One Week Has Gone By Incredibly Fast

Colleen Ryan ~ Our last official day in Haiti was a very enjoyable time.

Haiti is Amazing!

Stephanie Kaminski ~ It’s has been an interesting trip so far. We were delayed a day, gotstuck on the plane for 8 hours, and had to sleep in the airport. But other than that I’m so happy that I’ve gotten to come back one last time. We did water filters today and walked quite the ways. …
