2018 Haiti Mission – Thur Oct 25th

Today is the last day of mission work for the team. It’s also one of the toughest because the team and residents at mission have bonded over the past few days and both realize their time is coming to an end.

We send teams to the orphanage, clinic and the school this morning. Team Hope is doing the final food delivery today while Team Faith has its turn serving up lunch at the soup kitchen. After our lunch break, Team Faith heads to the Grandma-Grandpa House to pamper and shower them with love one last time. 20181025_142815One of the funniest and most endearing moments happened when one resident insisted she wanted a back massage. She was wearing a blouse which didn’t have a button so she boldly removed her top and told Paul to get to work. One of the matrons came out and covered her up a little but there was no denying this grandma of what she wanted. It is a joy to see many of the residents have donned the tee shirts we made for them yesterday. Below are pictures some of them modeling their new apparel:

And here are pictures of them enjoying their final moments of pampering with the team:

Team Hope and Team Love joined forces in the afternoon at the orphanage. After the children completed their homework the teams “opened” a nail salon to pamper the young ladies, broke out some bubbles and PlayDo, and played catch with a football. It seemed everywhere I looked kids had a lollipop in their mouth. It is very apparent from the pictures below that everyone really had a great time.
