Haiti Preschool Programs Day 1

     Today was the first day setting up a preschool for kids with disabilities in Haiti.  We are working at a church in one of the poorest areas of Port-Au-Prince.  Our team is made up of Greg, me, Lynne a special education teacher, Sara a PT, Erin also a PT and our 2 Haitian translators Roselyn and Jhon Adams.

                                                   This is a picture of the church


We had no idea exactly what we would be doing today, what would be set up before we got there and who would come but God provided a wonderful teacher, a volunteer and some adorable children who we believe will benefit greatly from a school program here in Haiti.


The Haitian teacher Janice is wonderful with the kids.  Here she and Lynne are sharing ideas.


Michelena is a four year old girl who never walked before Erin worked with her today.  After some practice in standing and with a walker, she took her first steps all by herself! 


Luis was abit shy with us but loved inspecting the toys.  We will try to get him up and moving tomorrow.

More pictures and story later in the week.
