To Haiti we Go

well I should be packing right now, but my adrenaline is flowing too fast and furious right now as I anticipate what I am going to experience in the next 9 days of my life.

The original plan as of two days ago....

go work with Sion de Foyer Orphanage through an amazing woman Annie Blackstone, who was a contact from Rotary....

Two days ago...

I get an email regarding the Exec Director of the orphanage who was under a lot of pressure these days and it was requested that no new volunteers come to help.... so I had to go into strategy mode.

I contact my friend Chris Strock, who had just returned from Haiti working with Partners in Health, about 2 weeks ago and whose wife kept a blog during his trip at : http://www.changeforhaitiblog.blogspot.com/

so then Chris told me that he would try to connect me with his friends down there.....

Fast forward one day:

I received this email.....

Hi ashanti- looking forward to meet you

If you tell the driver to take you to ste germaine/hopital nos petits freres et soeurs (tabarre), you will ask for mona

my Crew and I are going to be working with Partners in Health.

Now the challenge is to find transportation from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic...

Bus line Caribe TOURS - Leaves at 11am the morning after we arrive.

So this afternoon, I get a new email from Loune....
