The Lactation Education team is enjoying their last day in Haiti. The sights, sounds, experiences, and beautiful faces are too many to count. To share what is on their hearts, the team has put together a compilation of pictures.

Monday and Tuesday we held our Lactation Education conferences. Mothers came and were excited to learn, ask questions, and share. We were blessed beyond reason with the reception.
Tuesday morning we all had the privilege of going to a school who has received Meals from the Heartland meals. We took heights and weights of the students and were also able to gift them with shoes from TOMS shoes. TOMS shoes donated 4500 pairs of shoes to Many Hands for Haiti a few months ago. This was an amazing opportunity to bless these children.
Instead of a long blog of words, we wanted to share with you instead, the photos of the people we were privileged to serve and who blessed us. Tomorrow we will go to the Citadel and then Thursday we begin our journey home. Thank you for your prayers! Thank you for your love! We love you all.
- Pray for the families we met this weekend. Pray they come to know Jesus intimately, and for his wisdom and strength to flow into them.
- Pray for our travels home and our families. We love it here. We miss our families too.
- Pray for Many Hands for Haiti staff and communities. God is a big God with big plans, and He is moving through this ministry. Please keep them in your continual prayers.
Much love and blessings,
Andrea, Sheryl, Diane, Rhonda, Jeff, and Bob
