Children Everywhere

We walk to most places we go to here and there will always be children run up to touch us, ask for 'one dolla', hold our hands. They really like to have their photo taken and then see it on the camera. Half of the population of Haiti is under the age of 18. The most current population figure is 10 million. That's alot of young people!

One thing that we get to do with teams is to go out in the area and visit families. We usually take hygiene bags and goodies for the kids. One home we stopped at was a family of 8 children. Mom said that she lost her husband and mother in the earthquake. She and her family have a very difficult time finding enough money for food. She seemed as though she needed to talk about it all. We spent quite a while with her listening and praying. In the end, the small items we left with her seemed to insignificant compared to her needs, but they put a smile on their faces.
