We're in Haiti

We're here! Haiti is an extremely intense country. They never slow down. There are people on the streets selling their wares early in the morning until late into the night, even thru the Tropical Wave that we brought with us. The art work and crafts are everywhere. Beautiful furniture being made on the side of the street. Amazing. The hospitality and enthusiasm of the Rotary exceeds the intensity of the country. PETS was great!! A huge thank you to Haiti Task Force and Water Chair Guy and the AGs for all the work in organizing PETS, the translation, chauffeuring etc. We greatly appreciate it. Last year 6 out of 16 clubs in Haiti contributed to the Rotary Foundation, the Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurers have given their personal commitment that every single club in Haiti will contribute something to the Foundation this year. Yes! Yes! Yes! Oui! Oui! Oui! We meet with Charles Adams of Pure Water today along with the Haiti Task Force (the group that coordinates inbound joint projects to Haiti) and then off to fight with American Airlines. That's a whole other story, but I'm not sure there are enough *&^(*&% on the keyboard for it. More of Hait with pictures to follow. Blog at you soon. Carla
