we're in Haiti!

Just a quick update from Haiti:

Eric and Megan met up with Francois at the airport... and of course spent time waiting around the airport, cause that's just the way things go. We're staying at the Methodist Guest House in Petionville. Lots of other people here and while it's not quite as fun to be in a crowded room and not be able to spread out... it's always nice to meet other people and make new connections.

Eric was able to meet Sebastian's (his son from Three Angels) dad for the first time. Sebastian's mother died in the earthquake, so it was especially special to be able to make contact with his dad. Eric was able to show him pictures and tell him how Sebastian is doing.

We are meeting with Carine, the director of Fonkoze first thing tomorrow morning. We made a list of questions and made sure we were ready for that meeting! We are excited to finally meet Carine and discuss what our partnership will look like.  After our meeting, I'm sure we'll have lots of planning to do! We also hope to swing by Three Angels and say hi to some friends other there.

Friday morning, we'll head to Jacmel. This is the part we're really looking forward to!! We're looking forward to seeing a new place, meeting new people, staying at a new guest house.... and FINDING A HOUSE TO RENT!!   We'll stay in Jacmel Friday and Saturday night and head back to PAP on Sunday. There are a few other things we'd like to do-- price check a few items, meet some new contacts, etc. After our meeting with Fonkoze and trip to Jacmel, we'll have a lot to discuss and decisions to make!
