Missing Haiti and my children

July 13, 2020 Posted by Karen Huxter 3 Comments

Missing my life in Haiti and my children I started going through some photos.

Not having blogged for awhile I decided to do a photo blog with some of the photos.  I still miss it a lot with no idea when I might be able to return. Perhaps some of the photos will give you an idea why I miss it so much.

  • Almost at the market
  • Beauty on a beast
  • Bread and rolls being made in bakery
  • Early morning on their way to work in someone’s garden
  • Surprise for someone
  • Guillaume and Valerie dropped by to say Bye. Hate to see them leave.
  • Haiti
  • HATS Children’s Home and IMKH School on left of canal
  • Treading carefully as I go to visit someone ill
  • Luc welcoming Guillaume back to HATS
  • man cutting and pulling strings from a sack so he can make a rope to tie his animals
  • Once a Newfie, always a Newfie. Mummering fun iat the mission in Haiti. (Me holding Luc upright)
  • On their way to market
  • Off visiting families in Borel. Baby JJ in the stroller
  • On Karen’s early morning walk
  • Pancakes being made for all of us at HATS by our UN Canadians.
  • Praying with a lady

    Wow! Awesome photos. It is hard to imagine JJ in that stroller. Hoping things improve quickly in Haiti so you can return to your kids and other home before too too long. I know your heart aches for them and they are longing to see your face and get the hugs and kisses they are longing for.
