The New Haiti Orphange in Gonaives

by admin | May 18th, 2010

This week, I am getting ready for my visit to Haiti with Scott Bonnell, Founder of Hope to Haiti.  I’ve got my Malaria pills and done my shopping.    I am almost packed – won’t need much but I’m bringing a 50 pound suitcase with me.   My Rotary club has sponsored $200 for a suitcase full of toys and my dentist friend donated 16 lbs of sample toothpastes and kids tooth brushes.

The new orphanage we are visiting opened on April 16, 2010.  When they opened, there were 14 boys and 6 girls.  I’ll be teaching the kids how to brush their teeth.  Something so simple (that we take for granted) will be a big thrill for them.   It will be a heartfelt blast watching the kids play with the toys that I bought.

This will be my 4th trip.  It will be my 1st trip since the devastating earthquake that struck on January 12, 2010.  I am anxious to see the progress and clean up that has been going on for the past 4 months.
