Yes, it's true, we made it safe and sound to Haiti this afternoon around 3:30PM. Due to airport damages we got to ride the airport shuttle bus to a larger warehouse type building where we went through customs and gathered our bags/bins/boxes. The entire process actually went quite smoothly. The ride to the guesthouse was quite amazing. We saw many of the tent cities that they speak of on the news in addition to many buildings in rubble; however, the Haitians are pulling together and starting to remove rubbl
e and rebuild as space allows. The grounds of the guesthouse are a bit different looking due to damage to a couple of the buildings on the grounds, but the guesthouse is intact and we are staying indoors. Tomorrow we will begin to unpack our bins and delegate equipment to various sites/clinics. We will have two teams of people going to two different orphanages tomorrow as well as on team of people heading down to Handicap International to assess orthotic/prosthetic needs. We are not sure what our weekend will look like right now, but we hope to have some details for the weekend sometime tomorrow. All questions/comments are more than welcome! We look forward to hearing from everyone! Until tomorrow night, bonsoir!
