February 5, 2011 day 3

We started the day with a lovely worship service by one team member Vinnie. His focus was on “ENCOURAGEMENT”

Off to the worksite we went.  A lot of progress was made on Friday with the church. The children welcomed us with smiles. Our interpreter was very helpful communicating with the children. Our first activity with the children was jumping rope. Both boys and girls enjoyed themselves. Next the guys did soccer and football the girls did not seem as involved.

Our work activity included treating the wood with a chemical for termites. It had quite an odor. We jokingly said “we hope we don’t start acting strange as a result of the fumes.

The other VIM team joined us most were from the Carolinas and Florida. They worked inside on the cement and one lady Betsy worked with the children.

For snack one of the locals came with fresh coconut. Everyone enjoyed some were just good sports.  The children really enjoyed getting their pictures taken.  The other team had a printer so the kids were able to see their pictures right away.

Snacks were enjoyed by all gum, twizzlers.

The day ended with a tour in the late afternoon of Pettit Groave. May God continue to be with the people of Haiti.
