We arrived in Haiti yesterday. We traveled on the public bus which took us from Santo Domingo, DR to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The trip took 11 hours, but well worth the trip. The temperature is between 87 high and 70 degrees for the low. We slept outside under the stars. Alot of noises ranging from farm animals to cargo planes all night. We are traveling into the interior of Port-au-Prince today. We are looking for a safe distrubution site. We're also looking forward to purchasing a pre-paid phone. I've been able to skype several family members. If you're interested in skype, look me up at "Nate Manthey".
Something I was aware of before I came was the pace of life and what I call progress.
Here in Haiti everything is slower. Or it's just the people we're with. However, Carlos and I have had to adjust greatly. We're going with the flow.

Congratulations Nate on being able to give back in such a huge way! It's one thing to donate money, but it's entirely different to donate yourself, you are such an inspiration to others!
ReplyDeleteI was taught that some can go and others can send. Either way we all should play some part. No one is suppose to sit on the sidelines of life. This is the least I could do! I pray the inspiration given to others will encourage them to act somehow. Life's too short.
