My Recent Trip To Haiti

One of the most amazing things about owning your own business is that you can decide when to take off… for a break…for vacation…or for something more important.

Haiti.

I was fortunate enough to lead a group donw to Port au Prince to do missionary and relief work. Yeah, I’ve travelled the globe and seen quite a bit. This time poverty + destruction was something new for me.

I have never seen street kids. The amazing thing about these kids who have only the clothes on their back is that they speak French Creole and English. Out of necessity. In order to survive. But still, more than most American kids of similar age.

Visiting the orphanage broke my heart.

Watch the video for just a taste. At the end, there is information on how to support the Bousol Timoun Orphanage. Leave your comments on the youtube page or here.

I wonder, could I house 36 kids in my home….hmmmm.

Check out the organizations before giving and please add other resources that can be helpful to others.
