Today was our teams first day serving in Haiti. We started the day with a stop at a school called Elder school. It was so fun to watch the kids in the classrooms they liked waving to us and having their pictures taken. Even though the school is nothing like we have at home the kids were so excited to be there and made us realize how much of a privilege education is to these kids.

Next we did our first of three water delivery stops in City Solei. As soon as we arrived people came with their buckets to get their water. The best part for most of us was having the little ones to hold. They would just run up to us, throw their hands up and knew that someone would pick them up. It seems so sad that they just need to be held and despite the fact that they don't have anything they seem so happy.

Our last stop for the day was at the Haitian Initiative/Tony Sanneh Foundation. Here members of our team played soccer with the kids in the program while others watched and cheered everyone on. After the soccer playing we got to serve kids food which was the manna packs from Feed My Starving Children. It was a pretty awesom experience see these kids being so excited and greatful for what they were given.

Today was such a great day for our team. Together we showed love to those who need it most in our world and became the hands and feet of Christ. And we will do it again tomorrow!
