Day 7

Well yesterday, I woke up and went to the medical depot around 9am to start working on the inventory of the supplies that we get left from the medical teams leaving the country. It is quite the process to get this stuff inventoried and stocked, having methods that are not so great. I really like this work though. I love organizing things. So with all being side, I am happy about doing it and I feel like me doing this will help save lives.

We went to teach last night again. I have a little following of Haitians who want to talk to me all the time, they want me to teach their class when it really is Yleinia's thing. I am just going to help her out. So I try to fade into the background and let her do her thing. We all know what a struggle it can be for me to try and fade, but I am working on it.

Immediate needs of the country, boy it is hard to say right now. I am here when the phases are changing from relief efforts to recovery and construction efforts. There are needs for education of the people to start their own businesses and start rebuilding Haiti on their own. Being in Jacmel is different than anywhere else in the country. Life seems pretty normal here. I have not seen the tent city in Jacmel, but every night I see the lights from the refugee camp through the trees. Even last night when the whole neighborhood was dark from the rain storm the camp still had light.

I am finding a ton of things that need to be done but they are not really relief efforts to more of rebuilding efforts. I am still working on Kreole
