On day three, our group visited Grace Village located in Titanyen, a village outside of Port au Prince. We only toured it this time, but we go back later in the week to actually work with the kids.
 |
| They have a two chair dental clinic. |
 |
| We took a group picture in the clinic waiting room. You can see the mountains behind us. |
 |
| These are the new buildings on the Grace Village campus. Right now, the children live in dormitories. Soon, they'll be moving to these "units." There will be an adult living there too so that the children learn how a family works. |
 |
| The school rooms are build sort of in the ground. There is a massive stone wall on one side to keep in the cool air. They learn English, French, and Spanish in school here. |

| This little girl grasped onto Erica and wouldn't let go. While we were in an area she couldn't go, she waited on the fence for us. |
 |
| We also stumbled upon a girls' soccer game. |
 |
| Silly face time! |
 |
| Meghan, Spencer, Erica, and Emily are in there somewhere! |

Along with visiting the school, we also stopped in to visit four elders in Titanyen. We made them PB&J sandwiches and gave them water. We also washed their feet.
 |
| Marie is 104 years old. She made us all give her hugs when we walked in. As you can see, we also painted her toes. |
After visiting the elders, we went to visit an orphanage. We made Salvation Bracelets with them and then sang and danced.

 |
| We spent nearly an hour singing and dancing with the kids. We sang two songs and they sang around seven or eight. |
