Flag Football Haiti Style

Sweatbands make the athlete ...


The cheering section ... (Noah alternates cheering and playing) (Renald alternates running onto the field and cheering)

The neighborhood we live in would be considered middle class. The homes are larger and usually have quite a few people living in them but they are homes with running water and electricity (most of the time).

We are very lucky that just three blocks away there is a giant soccer field for the kids to go run. Our "yard" does not have a blade of grass - so going to the field for some freedom is GREAT fun.

Looks like you had a wonderful time. I love the pictures. Thank for sharing.
Why, is it that Renaldo is staying with you?
Hope Annie gets to go home soon!

Renald moved to our house to recover in mid June. We anticipated it would take six months, but it only took four. He just reached his goal weight a week ago and we're waiting on Licia to find his Mom so we can return him directly to her ... we expect the phone call to come any day and then he will move back home with his Mom and siblings.

Annie *may* be home as soon as 5 months from now if things keep moving. We finally passed step one after 20 months.
