Haiti- what we saw

In November 2010, Me and 19 other Men and women from the reality LA Church were selected and went to the facilities in the Child hope program on a mission trip. Yes that means we are Christian and yes that means we went with a Gospel-intended purpose to serve and whatnot.

This is a brief overview of some of the things we saw and experienced. Part 2 Coming up which explains what we DID.

Music was done by my roommate Luke Worle in my apartment in 10 minutes who gave me permission to use it. No copyright infringements so HA.

WoW!!!! Looks like you had a great time! Did you see any Voodoo?

[Paulbarbato]

@Omnigurl OH MAN thanks for reminding me, every morning I would go to the rooftop of the guesthouse and would hear drumming and chanting off in the distance, they told me it was Voodoo, also one time this guy was following me and Hannah and Chanting in Voodoo as we were walking home from working at the Orphanage. It was kind of weird!

Haiti looks kind of cool! Were you able to speak much French there?

[Paulbarbato]

@Tripstitch I thought I was going to have no problem but I was wrong! Creole is only about half French and so most of the time people only understood half of what I was saying when I talked to them! It was still a great learning experience though!

[TonyShylock]

Dude good to see you went on another adventure! Keep posting more! Where are you going next?

[Paulbarbato]

@TonyShylock Next year I'm planning between either Bolivia or New Zealand. No joke ;)

[Ferinoification]
