Logistics.

I leave for Haiti in TEN days.
That's ridiculous.

Our team has been given some more info on what we'll actually be doing,
and where we'll be going.
So I thought I would share.

We're going through an organization called Remember the Poor.


We will be staying and working on the island of La Gonâve.


We will get to La Gonâve, by a boat like this...


We'll arrive in a town called Anse-a Galets, 


this is the most modern city on the island,
we'll buy water and supplies here.
From Anse-a-Galets, we'll travel to Boucan-la-Marre 
(I think that's how you spell it).
This village is up in the mountains, 
and here we will have electricity, showers and toilets!
And by showers, I mean, a five gallon bucket with a bowl in it....
better than nothing right?

After some time in Boucan-la-Marre 
(we don't know exactly how long),
we'll travel to Pointe-Sable. 
We have been told to expect views like this...


I'm down for that!
This village is extremely remote,
which means smelly teammates and awkward bathroom breaks!
Yippee!
We aren't sure what we'll be doing here, or how long we'll be here. 

I think we'll be doing some construction, 
a Croc drop, where we pass out Crocs to the villagers,
some VBS or kids camps, 
and who knows what else! 

This is about all I know so far,
and it's about all I will know until we actually get there. 

I won't have internet pretty much the entire time I'm there, 
so it looks like the blog is going to get a break, 
but I do plan on journaling extensively so I won't forget a thing! 

So don't worry I'll recount every detail when I get back!
