There is an obvious lack of food in Haiti, so like the Haitians we don't have many options. The only source of food we have is the protein bars we brought and Military MRE's- Meal Ready to Eat. These are prepackaged military meals in a bag. Not so tasty. So, when are on our way to refugee camps we try to stop as much as we can and pick up mangoes, tangerines, etc. from street vendors. One of Patrick's favorite things to stop and get is sugar cane. You chew it and a delicious sweet liquid fills your mouth, then you spit out the rind. It is soo yummy and refreshing!
These beautiful girls are from the Ministry of Health in Haiti. They are volunteering with us while we are here. They all lost their homes and live on the street. They don't even have tents. I don't know how they stay so clean and lovely. We are going to become pen pals. I am helping them by trying to get them tents for their family to sleep in as well as more food. They've been teaching me Haitian songs, and I've been teaching them English.
