Pennsylvania group arrives in Haiti!

After months of preparation we have finally arrived in Haiti. Left behind rain in New York to arrive to 90 degree heat and humidity. We were picked up by Donald and Patricia for an interesting ride to the Lifeline Compound in LaDigue. We drove through Port AuPrince and saw alot of the devastation from the eartquake still evident, people still in tent cities, rubble in the streets, and buildings still being cleaned up after falling. The trip to the compound was quite bumpy as the road is still not fixed, travelable but still damaged. This is the rainy season and there hadnt been rain in 3 weeks, we had clouds roll in and thunder and lightning but no raindrops. Once at the mission we unloaded all of our luggage, much of which had all the donations we received from home, about a thousand pounds of supplies for the school and clinic. We would like to thank everyone at home who made this possible with your donations of supplies, money and prayers. Our week will be full as we will be traveling to St Marcs and Barbancourt, helping with two eye clinics, and going to the market. Looking forward to the rest of our time here and the adventures we will have before heading back to the states. Good night and God Bless!!!! Wylie, Jud, Carol, Holly, Linda, and Candella
