Midwives for Haiti Trip Day 2

Sunday September 30th 2012

Today we took a early morning hike out in the countryside.  Then took a moto-taxi (motorbike with 3 of us on one) to Massion Fortune Orphanage and attended church with 1OO+ kids age 4-18 with only 2 adults supervising and it was amazing how well behaved they all were!  It was fun being able to recognize the Lord's Prayer and Amen in Creole. 

Then we unpacked supplies at the house, then we spent some time at Azil feeding center where kids and babies are sent when they have failure to thrive.  They do a great job, but it is so sad.  We just went from crib to crib holding babies and giving them some physical contact. 



Then we walked through town and the market which was a great look into Haitian life.  All the food at the market was covered with flies, but we just have to remind ourselves that all the food is well cooked.  What I really wanted to get a picture of was the raw cut up chicken pieces sitting out uncovered and unrefridgerated completely covered in flies! Ewww!

Tonight we had a couple rum and cokes and now got the call they need help at the hospital, so two of us are on our way :) I hope to have good stories for tomorrow!
