Here are some pictures from Eden Garden Orphanage.
You know my mom, she takes pictures like crazy.
These girls are: Phala, Wisline, Elencia, Magdaly
My dad with Frisnell. Dad says he's a really lovey boy, and one of his favorites.
Oops, you're not supposed to have favorites, are you??
When my parents go, they usually always try to take the kids to the nearby beach.
Dad with Stevie & Frisnell
My mom with the kids. Look how sweaty she is!!!! She says it's REALLY hot there.
This is Cricilia and Widline with my mom. That's my dress Cricilia is wearing! I'm glad she likes it!
Dad with Gregory and Nicolas. They are the oldest boys at the orphanage.
My dad says when they visit, there is always a kid hanging on them or wanting to hold their hand or sit on their lap. He says they need a lot of love.
There are 37 kids at the orphanage.
That's my Auntie Liz. She's a nurse and runs the medical clinics they do while they are there.
Hey, that's my dolly! Mom says it makes the girls really happy to have a doll that looks like them.
My mom always shows me this picture when I complain about taking my vitamins. In this picture they were passing out vitamins, and these kids were literally fighting over them. Mom says I should be thankful I have vitamins everyday and that I can have healthy food. These kids don't even get to eat every day. I guess we're pretty lucky.
This baby was dying when they brought him to the clinic. He was only 17 days old and had hardly been fed at all.
This is my friend, Karen Tejeda. She got to go to Haiti with her mom.
It's really dusty and dirty there, and lots of kids don't even have clothes. That makes me feel bad for all the clothes I have that I never even wear.
That's my dad putting clothes on a boy that some Girl Scouts made for them to give away.
This is Mika. My parents say she's really SASSY. You can tell that, right? I bet I would love her!
Rice and beans for supper, again. I love rice and beans, but would probably get sick of it if I had it everyday.
Lots of kids don't have food. My mom saw this little boy digging for food right next to a pig. That would make me cry.
This is Mr. Charles. He started the orphanage and lives over in Haiti, but he lived with us last summer. He calls Nate "The Man".
This is my Grandpa Wooster (left). He does repairs and works on the water system when he's there, or whatever else needs fixed. He can fix anything.
This is my Gapa Brion with his friend, Berlindea. She even wrote him a note when he left.
When Mom & Dad were there in January, they had Christmas with the kids. I gave my piggy bank money to help buy gifts and picked out this doll for Magdaly. Doesn't she look just like her???
My parents say someday, they'll take me to Haiti with them.
I can't wait!
Update: I am going to Haiti in June 2012!!! Woo hoo!!!
