haiti day three

Back to Bon Berger this morning. A little bit of a shock for the new people, because all of the children were back. Lots of familiar faces for those of us who have returned. Headed to the backyard to play and love on the kids.
Ryan got to hang out with the boys a little before heading out to the Mega Mart.
One of the old friends we ran into is the little boy that Tonja always referred to as my mini me. His name sounds a lit like Fonzie. Not sure if he is a Happy Days fan or not, but many of us gave him the thumbs up and a “Heyyyyyy” when we heard it.
In addition to a bunch of jewelry, some sunglasses, and some stickers, we were able to leave them with a lot of food and supplies.
Back to Foyer de Amis in the afternoon. Broke out the bird hat and taught some of the kids my Pterodactyl dance.
We did some face painting, and let them do some face painting, too.
Finally, we had to say goodbye to Foyer de Amis for the last time. Definitely didn’t get any easier this time. Amazing how we come to make an impact on them, but they make such a huge impact on us in the process.
I love all the photos and the stories, thank you for sharing.
