New Team Arrives from Calgary, Canada

November 15, 2010 Posted by Liette Wilson

It’s Liette here. Our team from Calgary arrived in Deschapelles, Haiti safely early this afternoon. Our group consists of myself and my kids, Carol, Jan, Penny, Barry, Heather and Roger from Calgary plus Nichole from Texas were greeted with a beautiful welcome sign on the front gate of the mission and a gaggle of small happy children. After a VERY short night in Florida, we were up and at the airport at 4:30 am this morning. A delicious meal of pumpkin soup and bread nourished our bellies and lots of hugs nourished our souls.

We had the chance today to get a tour of all of the great things going on here at Hands Across the Sea and then we enjoyed a nice walk along the canal with the children.

We’re all exhausted and are headed to bed to be ready for lots of work and new adventures tomorrow.
