Day4

Internet access has been bad last couple days. Had to search out some wifi to post this blog. Of course forgot my comp charger and am running out of power now.

Yesterday was a great day spent going to the market with Pastor Benoit, his son Abson and Jimmy to buy the food we raised money for. It was such a cool experience walking through this crazy busy market with people crammed down and up this street yelling and selling veggies, beans, rice, spice, fish, you name it. We captured some really compelling moments on camera that I know everyone will love. A lot of food was bought and I'm sure will feed them for a few months.

Today Jimmy took me to find Louwanne, his twin brother Louwannesue and older brother Emmanuel who I became very fond of last trip. It took awhile to find them but they heard I was there and found me. I printed pictures from the last trip to give to them. One of the pics of one of the twins was in the auction (the one with paint on his face). They are such sweet boys and I was so excited to see them. I plan to see them again and film them and chat with them. I will take them to the market to buy them new shoes. :)

One of Jimmy's friends needed a ride to go to the nearest hospital an hour away to go see thier 2 month old son that is not doing well. While we were waiting to go with them the fed me the most delicious Creole food and gave me a manicure and a pedicure.  Everyone we have met have been so welcoming with open arms like we are family of theirs.

We went to the hospital and I saw the poor baby who looks like he may not make it. They have told me he was 7 months premature but I'm not sure how that would be possible. Their may be a mix up with the months in translation. 

I met the women who started the hospital who has to be in her late 70's from South Carolina. She was such an interesting women that I may have to go back and film her. I have had some small technical difficulties with the camera but it is working itself out.

Tomorrow morning we are going to the orphamage and spending the whole day their filming them from morning to night and interviewing them all. I can't wait to spend the whole day with them.

I'm running out of power and Jeff needs the computer now so I must sign off. We are also getting a internet card tomorrow so we can have internet anywhere...

Bon nuit
