08'10 Haiti Mission Trip @ kishann's Albums

Aug.15th. to 21st., I was on the mission trip to Haiti. To be able to be in present, to see and to share a little bit of the needs was a grateful and unforgettable experience.

In church, last check
Leave UC Davis

It actually needs to be pretty alert after stepping out the airport
In this case, someone just grabbed some of our team's bags and claimed for tips
A glance of the streets in Port-au-Prince
Camp set up at 19N and 73W
Have I ever mentioned that we slept in tents?
Those're the one at the 1F
Mine was at the 2F, up on the roof
It's actually pretty good to sleep on the 2F,
except there's higher risk the tent might be blowed away or flooded during thunderstorm...
Yaya & Joel
Yeah, ladies needed to wear long skirts

08.19 Rubble Removing
One of the most meaingful service here
was to help one of the church member to remove the rubbles from the earthquake
it's definitely labor intensive
We're there to move rubbles for 2 half days
Not as much as I'd hoped, and not as efficient as I'd wished could be
To see, to feel and to somehow share a little bit of that lost was already overwhelming
Play with the kids while rubble removing
Back to our camp
That's how bad the mosquito bites with some urticaria effect could do...
Believe me, it's painful and way beyond irritating
This was the pleasure after a whole day labor
Dinners in Haiti
Chinese teaching lesson
08.20 The last afternoon break, on the way to the Mountain top in Gressia
One of our translators
This was where the mission ball came into play
Haitians play soccer
and they play really well
It's kind of cool that the pastor could play soccer with kids together
