Photos

I wanted to put a photo or two with each blog entry to give a better idea of what I was writing about. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to do that and after 30 minutes I finally gave up. Instead, I picked a few of my favorites - trying to get a range of all the things I wrote about and experienced. I hope you enjoy.

I'd also like to take a moment to thank you, dear reader, for sharing this journey with me. It's been nice to have you undergo it all with me. Your support, emails, and comments meant more than I could ever describe. It was quite a ride and I'm thankful you were there for every turn in the road. Thank you deeply.


The last day at the after-school orphanage. Saying goodbye to my kids.

An outdoor lesson at the after-school orphanage. This little boy knew the answer but then was shy coming up to the front to share with everyone.

One of the beautiful children at the baby orphanage.

A bench I built for the school-build. Very exciting to have done it myself!

The crew working on the beginning construction of the 4th school.
- Our guide up Mount Kinai and her family just outside their home.

Children at the after-school orphanage painting water scenes like Monet.

The tent was so full that many of the children had to squish together on the ground. But they all still found a way to paint.

The "quiet signal."


The Capital Building in Port Au Prince.


The streets of Leogane.
On the drive through Port Au Prince.

Where the babies spend most of the days in the baby orphanage.The room is even smaller than it appears in this photo.

After jumping off the highest cliff from the waterfalls in Jacmel.

With Jean-Pierre (far back), Mimi, and Jean Pierre's brother (to the left) at their house in Jacmel.

WIth Victane.

My tent on the roof of the base. The background is a mixture of storm clouds and mountains mingling together.

The "tent school" we help construct on our climb up Mount Kinai.

One of the local children on a rubble site helping push a wheelbarrow full of broken concrete. You can't tell from the picture but he is barefoot and pant-less.

Jen and I on the completed rubble site where we met Victane and also found out the 5 people who buried in the rubble after the earthquake were rescued without casualties.

Reading with the children at the baby orphanage. The boy on the right was the one who wouldn't let go of my hand. The boy who broke my heart leaving.

In front of the tent for the after-school orphanage with some of the children.
