On Saturday, August 17, 2013 the HEADR team from New Brunswick Canada arrived at PAP airport. They left Canada at 3 AM and arrived in Haiti at 5 PM!
For the first time since I arrived in Haiti in 2000 the customs officials at the airport pulled the team over and asked them to pay customs on the equipment they brought in for us. After some negotiations we ended up paying about $100 US. But it was well worth it as they brought in 50 brand new futsal balls, and tons of uniforms and other stuff for our ministry.
Art Moore is the leader of the team, and this is his 5th trip to Haiti and his third as leader of this team. He is a school teacher and rugby coach and recruits his former students and players to join him on this trip.
This year he brought of his friends who have been to Haiti before: Corey, Chris and Kaitlyn, plus one newcomer named Nick.
We are heading to the island of La Gonave today to run and evangelistic soccer tournament, train some officials, visit some schools and probably work painting a new hospital.
It is a quick trip as we will return to the mainland on Wednesday morning.
Many thanks to our Canadian friends for coming down to serve and encourage!
