Day Ten, July 27th Little Things

This was the last day here at the mission, we did not have any activities planned. We were on our own to keep busy. I found it hard to keep myself working, I kept wanting to sit down and relax or take a nap. Then I remembered something Chris our group leader said. “I do not want you to leave here with regrets; I do not want you to say when you get home. I wish I would have…!” You see even though there wasn’t any big tasks planned, sometimes the little things make all the difference. I decided to spend a little time playing with Kerwins (one of the children from heavens waiting room) and to spend some time at the Grand Moun. While I was doing this I realized that I am the same at home, most of the time when I have free time I spend it watching TV, playing games or generally wasting time when there are a lot of little things around that would make a big difference in people’s lives. Why do I have to be in Haiti to be reminded that there are elderly out there who need company, disabled kids who want to play…
