10:10 pm and I am the only one not in bed. (Don't worry I took a power nap today.)
Sidewalk prep has been started and some concrete forms are up, but it is currently raining, so we'll see what that looks like tomorrow.
Jacob, David, Neil, and Jay had an interesting and eye-opening trip to the market today. All went well, but it's worlds apart from what we are used to back home.
Evan & Zach worked with kids, cleaned the playground equipment, and helped with the sidewalk project.
Everyone helped with unpacking and sorting the luggage we brought--so nice that everything showed up--there were some leaking soaps and lotions as well as a few broken baby food containers, but nothing serious at all.
The TeBrakes had the unfortunate occurance today of getting the fans they had packed out and discovering to their dismay --and our slight laughter-- that they only plugged into a cigarette lighter in a car.
Kara and Sue volunteered to do dishes the first day and washed an aweful lot of dishes in the volunteer house. All the ladies worked hard and organizing the playroom equipment, washing playroom equipment, feeding babies, playing with babies, and just getting things done.
We've enjoyed meeting the long term staff as well as the nannies. It's pretty quiet here except for either the frogs or crickets chirping, the generator running, and the soft rain falling. Goodnight all, Day 1 in Haiti!
