We met up with another Healing Haiti team at Grace Village orphanage and took a tour of the school, the small homes that the kids all share with a Mama and/or Papa, the bakery that is creating more jobs for Haitians. The kids played a little soccer with the kids there before we left to visit some of the Elders that lived nearby. At each visit we brought them food, water, juice and then washed their faces, necks legs, feet and arms. Once they were cleaned, we put lotion on them and massaged them. Some let us paint their nails. Emmanual played his guitar and we sang along (Brielle did a duet with him).
We went back to Grace Village and made pancakes (some with sprinkles or with chocolate chips) and took Polaroids. Then helped them make picture frames for their photo. The kids went over to the basketball court and played soccer with the older kids and our interpreters. The soccer skills the kids had there were amazing. Casey put it well when he wondered what kind of opportunities these kids would get if they were in the U.S. playing the way they do.
