It is a small world after all! At Quisqueya Chapel last Sunday and again this Sunday, we met Mr. Bultje and his friend who are both from London Ontario, attending the church where my brother attends. These men were here for two weeks working at Corem Deo, whose director is Mr. Bultje's daughter, Karen. This organization gives aid to the poor, ill and handicapped in Haiti. Visit their web site at coram-deo.org





The various modes of transportation never cease to amaze us. This truck was carrying eggs and bags of potato chips from the Dominican Republic to Haiti. The load was tied down and none of the chip bags were lost. And yes, the eggs are not refrigerated.







Many earn their living by selling their produce along side of the road such as this shoe store. The foot ware of the people is very important. Their shoes are always polished and shining. There are many people walking around with a small hand bell jingling their willingness to polish your shoes for 10 goudes which is less than a nickel. See the flats of eggs? They are also for sale :-)
