Throughout the days of this summer, I had the chance to be hired as a translator for the Compassion International whose mission is to liberate children from poverty. That Friday morning the sponsors were waiting to see their children at Mont Rouis(The children they sponsor) with impatience while in the wide awakening of the sun at Port-Au-Prince, these children could barely seat still for the impatience was felt by them as well. That morning before I left for work my prayers were that God use my talents and the love that I have for people shine through the way that I would help these people; the connection between the sponsor and the teenage girl. Lights of happiness with a small dose of nervousness were present but as soon as I took my place in the bus, they all vanished.
Despite my shy features heavenly said from people, I didn't take a long time to get out my gear to photograph and meditate along the way. It was wonderful to get away from the noisy hustle of Port-Au-Prince even for a day and get lost in the surprises that the streets reserved for my eyes. As soon as we were approaching our location; The Hotel Xaragua, the mild agitated waves, the white sand beach were definitely giving us a treat from our far away window on the bus...For the rest of the posts I'll just let you take part in the pictures as well.
I had super long and heavy brown braids this summer so in this shot abovI had super long and heavy brown braids this summer so in this shot above, I seriously felt like running like Pocahontas who sang "The rainstorm and the river are my brothers, the heron and the otter are my friends" in the color of the wind.
We were all working and playing hard as well.
It's All Love

I didn't think much of this white button down long sleeve shirt when it was hanging in my closet because I barely wear white. But since I was in a hurry this morning in my last minutes I decided to take my chance on the crisp clean white button down shirt that was hanging in my closet.
With summer around the corner Zoey wants to enjoy every little bit of relaxation the season has to offer. The first place she had in mind for relaxation is a Caribbean Island where the tropical breeze never cease to make one stop dreaming. Her excitements settle when she booked her ticket for a long period of time in Haiti. The destinations that are on her list are "Les Cayes" in the South of Haiti where the Carnival of 2012 took place, then Le Cap; the Northern side of the Country for some serious sight seeing and an approach to Haitian History. With the awesome app of "Lokalhaiti" on her phone she surely will have Haiti in the palm of her precious hands. It's been so long since she's been contemplating to visit the hidden side of Haiti so it is only fair that she takes her time to play hard for she worked hard to earn that Bachelors in Public Relations after undergoing so many majors. With that said, we wish Zoey a wonderful trip visiting Haiti with the hopes of seeing tons of pictures.
