Today was a better day. People were more grateful and we saw a lot more kids that were actually sick. The pastor and his family were a huge help with crowd control and keeping everyone at a distance. We got to be outside in the back because they had a nice patio thing out there. It was really nice to have the fresh air. Our team is so fantastic! Seriously. Everyone is so great. They are easy going but work hard and have fun while doing it. 
A lot more people spoke Creole today than yesterday. A majority of the people that live in the Bateys are from Haiti. They flee from there for a "better life" here, and the sugar cane companies are convinced that they are giving them a better life. Sure, it's better than what they had, but it is by no means a "good life."
This boy is 8 years old. That's right. 8. He has some type of genetic disease so he doesn't really age.
The cool kids
So cute
The houses they live in. Two families per house, no running water..
Have you ever seen someone so happy about a bag of vitamins? :).
