Photos from Haiti

Here are some pictures from the trip....I took many, but I think these ones best depict my overall experience:

These are some pictures of the tent camps, that I captured on my initial drive....on the long drive to the base:






This is the remains of the palace, which was destroyed by the earthquake:


This is the row we had our bunks on "2nd street"


My attempt at setting up my mosquito net....as we learned not very successfully!


The result of my inability to set up a mosquito net effectively!


The road prior to any rubbling work....you can see all the holes filled with water.


The road after day 1 of rubbling....you could already notice the difference when people were driving on it.

Some pictures of me rubbling....I mean sledge hammering the rubble to build the road! HARD WORK, and very EXHAUSTING!!!





Enjoying my FIRST coca-cola....THE BEST SODA I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!


Day 2 Project for me: Roofing!


Here are some photo's of me sawing and drilling the sheet metal!




You can see the sheet metal being placed on as roofing....my hard work coming together!


These are schools the children are currently using:



PLAZA PLAYTIME.....






The tap tap...on our way to Jacmel!




Our campsite in Jacmel...right on the beach!


Ben, Paula, and I on the beach!


The beautiful water...felt so good in that heat!



Foundation work on School 12!


Bucket Girl....I had to yell "Buckets" at the start of each mixture!


Yeah...I definitely enjoyed this job....


....and got a GREAT arm workout!


The game plan for the foundation lying process....it's very important to KNOW THIS....timing is the KEY!


The beginning of the day.....


The End of the day...look how far we've come!


Pretty dirty at the end of a hard day's work!

I think that these pictures pretty much capture my experiences for the 10 days I was in Haiti! If there's something you don't see let me know...I may have missed one, so I'm sure I have them, just may have overlooked it! Hope you Enjoy!
