After 10 hours on and off of planes all day, little sleep last night, and several days of running around for supplies it feels wonderful to be so close to our destination.
The sensation of arrival was surreal. On exiting the airport, there were hundreds of people waiting for aid workers with signs for all of the major groups- World Vision, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Red Cross, and many others. There in the crowd was our own support personnel for Heart to Heart International.
Nancy and Doc were warm and wonderful people to meet after an exhausting couple of days. They transported us to the hotel (safely despite an entirely new culture of driving) and arranged our stay for the night. They will take us to the US Embassy in the morning where we will meet for transport over the border.
Here at the hotel we would say that approximately 2/3 of the people in the lobby are with some relief organization. It is quite heartwarming to see such an outstanding response from the world community to this tragedy. We are glad we can be a part of it, and that you could all be a part of it as well through your overwhelming support..
More to come tomorrow- from Haiti!
