Bonswa everyone!
Miller and Erin here, checking in.
After waking up at 5:30 (awesome, right?!), we arrived in Port-au-Prince and struggled in the 90 degree weather to get to our car. Traffic in PaP was lots of fun. There are no rules and an aggressive driver is a successful driver. Interestingly, the roads are in much better shape than many Pittsburgh pot-holed-death-trap streets. After lunch and a two hour long car ride going north, we got to little Deschapelles in the Artibonite Valley of Haiti.
Now, we are ready to start our project!
Steps:
1) Set up screens and ink and other supplies
2) Get kids and people in the art program and around the hospital to share with us their dreams for Haiti through printing
4) Have fun!
3) Save the world. (well...maybe)
PS- In case you are wondering what this is all about, some background for you:
Erin's great-grandparents built a hospital in Deschapelles and her family has continued to work in Haiti for over 60 years. Her grandparents and two uncles live here and one runs the art program. So that's how we got involved!
