Children at IDADEE
Here are some of the children at IDADEE playing with bubbles. They are adorable! But, eight 2-year-olds are quite a load of work for the newly married couple who serves there. This couple grew up at EBAC and now have a desire to serve other orphans. They pray that the Lord will give them energy, patience, and strength.
IDADEE: The New Orphanage
Here's a quick pan of the new orphanage. It is beautiful - even by American standards! The second floor is not yet built, but it already houses eight 2-year-olds.
Riding a Tap-Tap
One of the most common forms of transportation in Haiit: the tap-tap. Most tap-taps are pick-up trucks with railings on the back. This one is a bit more comfortable (it actually has cushions). Don't worry... we're all wearing our seat belts (ha!). We're driving from EBAC (the original orphanage) to IDADEE (the new orphanage).
More Kids at the Orphanage
Here's another group of kids (McKenzie made his way into this video as well). Some of these kids don't attend EBAC school, but they are at the orphanage every day. The names are tough to hear and even tougher to pronounce... with some kids, your guess is as good as ours. But, we do our best.
An Inside Look
Here's a look inside the EBAC school at the orphanage. Each student has an "office" (a partitioned desk) where they complete their work. There's also a large music room with benches and a piano. Right now, school is out for the summer.
Tearing Down the Playground
This is part of our team working with EBAC kids and leaders. The playground is coming down.
