At the Crèche Orphanage

This is for the Crèche which is the orphanage with kids under 6.

In the crèche with the babies, before I even stepped on the porch, one little tiny girl named Diana was holding her arms out and crying to me to hold her. When I sat down with her, Francesca also came over and sat in my lap. They both stayed in my lap for 2 hours. If I tried to put them down they cried. The Haitian workers were crèche top to bottom and we had to move from the porch to inside. One lady was cleaning out the fridge and it was spotless. After lunch I went back to the crèche and held Diana again. When she got down, I went and picked up a tiny baby girl named Grace. She has a sister named Hope. I held her and played with her until she feel asleep.

The children then got bathes and got powdered and clean clothes put on. They are all so well cared for and clean. From what we have been told, this is a top notch place compared to other places in Haiti. They currently have 45 babies here and all but 6 are already in the process of being adopted by families in the US and France. Seeing the children here is really sad and breaks my heart, but they are really well cared for and it is a wonderful place for them to be until they are adopted. They are also in the process of adding more space to take in more kids.
