Day 1: Arriving and Unpacking

Today was a long day of traveling for everyone! Everyone came in on red eye flights then caught an early morning flight to Haiti. The guest house is located about 40 minutes away from the airport, with weaving, honking, squeezing in and a lot more driving maneuvers you would never see in the States. Shortly after we made it to the guest house alive, everyone gathered and unpacked their suitcases, full of medical supplies, and sorted everything onto tables.

    This is just one of the 6 tables full of supplies!

The rest of the day has been pretty lazy, we started to sort and separate vitamins and pills for our clinics starting on Monday. 

We had a great Team Meeting talking about culture and things that we noticed today that is different than our culture. Every day Katie asks for everyone to say one word that describes their day and we are not allowed to explain why we chose this word. 

Word of the Day:

Uncomfortable
Katie
Sweaty
Long
Sound-Sleep
Fatigue
Tired
Improvement
Worn Out
Baggies
Organization
Urge
M&M's
Van
Guesthouse
Honking

We are all awaiting catching up on our much needed sleep and having some great adventures tomorrow!
