Today was so hard and sad to say goodbye. I have fallen so madly deeply in love with these kids all over and even more again. They have completely stolen my heart. They had a piece of it before but now it's all theirs. Pastor Benoit's wife hugged me tightly and we both cried. She said she is so happy of the time we have spent with them and that we have not forgotten about them. After we finisged hugging I looked at all the little girls gathered around and said " Who else wants a hug?!". All of a sudden they all came running up to me and we had the biggest best group hug ever!! I miss them all soooooooo much already!!!
After leaving them Jimmy and I went on the search for Louwanne, his twin brother Louwannesue and older brother Emmanual who stole my heart the last trip. I had to see them again. We found the twins but not Emmanual. I brought them back to our hotel to come for a swim and eat dinner. They are so sweet and so darn beautiful! They had so much fun and I'm sure have only ever swam in the river, never a pool. I looked at the shoes they had on, because last time I met them their shoes had huge holes. As I suspected their shoes again have huge holes. So tomorrow before we leave to PAP we are going to pick them up and go to the market and buy them shoes. I interviewed them and they told me how they beg for money every day to feed themselves. Sometimes don't eat for a few days at a time. I fell in love with these boys the last time I was here and I'm even more in love with them now. AHHHHH! I can't fall in love here anymore this trip!! lol.
The few people I know that have shared the same experience as me coming to this country all say the same thing. How much they love Haiti. I plan on showing all of you from all the footage I have taken just how incredibly special it is here. I want all of you to fall in love how I am by watching the footage I have captured.
It's time for bed and more intense dreams I'm sure. I have woken up every morning and said to myself. I'm in Haiti, get up because today is going to be another amazing day. I hope that everyone following my blog has been able to experience just a little bit of how I feel. I love sharing with you and want you to see what I am seeing through my eyes. I have said a few times I wish my eyes had camera's in them so you could see EVERYTHING through my eyes. It's hard to capture every single thing and I start to forget. So hopefully you have captured just a little of what I have seen.
We go to PAP tomorrow and will film (on my Iphone, lol) the earthquake devastation area and hopefully interview a spokesperson at the UN. I would love to get their insight of what they are doing. We apparently have the best security in PAP who is a police officer people fear. This is what we need so no one messes with us. We then go to Jimmy's family's to meet them and maybe interview as well.
This will be our last night.I will blog at the end of the day because you never know what the day will bring us. I'm sure will be just as amazing as every other.
Bon nuit,
