On Monday, we started the morning touring and visiting the Apparent project, a local organization that places parents in stable jobs to support their families. Then, we visited one of the Sprint coaches’ schools in Cite Soleil and ended the day helping out at a home for sick children. Out of respect, we did not take photos of this home. Overall though, another amazing day!June 28, 2018

Happy Haitian Mother's Day! We started the day at an orphanage where we spent the morning making drawing, playing soccer, and enjoying games with the kids. We also made a valuable connection with the head of the orphanage. Then, we had a full afternoon on the Sprint court celebrating mothers of Cite Soleil with music, basketball, and dancing! Lots of singing, laughter, and happiness all around. Gen Espwa!June 28, 2018
