Haiti PAD 5-7

Ok, busy few days, so I have some catching up to do.  July 5 is On the Floor so I have added a couple of photos of some of the activities we did on the floor.  Like jump-rope, soccer, and most of the time we are on the floor just holding kids and letting them look at pictures on our camera.  There are many more pics of us in the the floor with kids in my facebook album.

Day 6 was Chair and I posted a pic of an adorable chair on Day 1 so we will just call that one good.

Day 7 is Garden and I have some perfect pics for Garden.  3 years ago, our team actually cleared this land with machetes.  Its hard to believe this is the same land.  On this particular day, we visited this house and while a few of our team and interpreters talked with the family, the rest of us cleaned up the garden.  They were growing beans, watermelons, and plantain trees.  Other gardens included lots of flowers, various herbs, banana trees, mango and papaya trees, and other vegetation.  They use the "clean up" vegetation around the base of the trees for a sort of compost I guess.  We were pulling what we thought were weeds and putting them in a pile before they told us to put it around the base of the trees and evidently, some of what we were pulling wasn't weeds - oops.  There was this one tiny guy that was just working away with us.  He was adorable!  He worked so hard.  This was a very hot/humid day, but the reward of their faces and gratefulness was well worth the sweat and sores.
