MGH -Alligators on the roof, chickens in trees and ants in pants.: 13

Welcome to The Diary of Higgins & Haiti!

Hello everyone,

You will be glad to know that I have compiled the diary of my volunteer period in Haiti. It can be found if you click on the link below:
http://alligatorsontheroof.blogspot.com/

I hope you get a chance to flick through it or even have a read at the 1-28 posts (under September archive). I have ordered the posts in the reverse order (a blog usually starts with the most recent first) to allow you to read my account in the order that it happened - kind of like a novel. The only post which is out of sync is no.7. I have struggled with this for days and there appears to be some error which will not enable me to slot this piece of info where I wish it to be.

I am aware that you are all incredibly busy, so I will add a video clip which I have compiled all my fave images from my trip along with tunes that remind me of the special country and its people. This will basically tell you the story, without having to read it, if you so desire. I will also be adding a page for this blog on FB. Before you all groan, this is to allow me to keep my Haiti life and my personal life separate. If you do visit Facebook, please join this page to keep up-to-date with my news and future projects – the more hits I get the better. Or click on the 'like' button on the right hand-side of the page!

Check back once a week for news!

Once again, thank you to all you lovely, kind, generous people who made this adventure possible with your kind words of encouragement and support.

The following day, we teamed up with the WCN group once again to visit ‘Love a Child’ - their outreach programs include 14 Love A Child schools, where they educate and feed over 5,000 children each day, food distribution programs that feed thousands of Haitian families, in and clinics and medical centres that they run. LAC founders moved to Haiti in July, 1991 as full time missionaries and permanently live in the 21,500 sq foot orphanage they built from scratch – it was finished in 2004. Here, we helped move supplies in a warehouse and came face to face with a tarantula.
