This was our first experience in the field and we went to Cite Soleil. We went with the water truck to fill it and take to the people in the Cite in three different locations. Unbelievable how much water is coming from a spring in Haiti. The truck pulls in and fills up and we are off to our first stop. People, children and buckets was all we could see. We were about 45 minutes filling buckets, barrels, pots and holding children and looking into their beautiful eyes and hearts. They have such a need for love and just hold on. I lifted 5 gallon water buckets onto small girls heads and they were so grateful and off they go toward their shack or home.
I helped carry a 5 gallon bucket with a little girl way back into all kinds of alleys, unsure if she was ever going to stop. But we did and a very grateful mother who walked me back out. What a day full of love, work and sweat. Love from Haiti
