We made it to Port au Prince!

We made it to Port au Prince!  Snow Storm Vexo couldn't keep us down!  It did delay our flight a little bit and we left Colorado soil around 1:30am Sunday morning.  From plane cancellations and missed connection flights, somehow it al worked out!

We are with "Believe in Haiti" and are set up with our dental clinic in downtown Port au Prince, Haiti.  We landed Sunday and then drove up in the nearby mountains to see their feeding program.  They feed 210 children meals several times a week.  This allows them to attend school and avoid child slavery.  We also visited the property that the organization wants to purchase for future services to the children.  Some of these kids will be ones we see this week at our dental clinic!

Haiti is only a ONE hour and 36 MINUTE flight from Miami.  That means that you are in a country with over 300,000 CHILD SLAVES but in an hour and a half you are back in a country where we don’t even realize what’s going on with our next door neighbor.

How can YOU help?

• READ Megan's book, Miracle on Voodoo Mountain with an open heart.  Be open to how you can get involved based on what you read.
• School can change a child's life!  You can sponsor a child for school for a year, which helps ensure that they don't get drawn into childhood slavery.  Check out Believe In Haiti (founded by Whitney and Justin Henwood of Parker, Colorado) for a practical way to help.  
• Support Plan International - Haiti financially with their efforts in Haiti.
• Support Megan's ministry:  Respire Haiti.
