The beach trip was one of the best parts of our week in Haiti. Our goal was to pack the kids into a bus and give them an experience they will never forget. Little did we realize that it would be just as meaningful and exciting for us. These children know very little about life beyond their run-down building and small plot of dusty land. On this day, however, with their brand new swim suits and the biggest of smiles, they would see that life can be far bigger and better than anything they've known before.
Moving forward, our hope is to continue to provide for these children in such a way that this kind of day is one of many rather than once in a lifetime. For more information about how you can help make this possible, visit The Espwa Foundation website.
A beautiful summer day, two full meals, warm water, scenic landscape... sure beats sitting in the shade of a few trees all day.
