Thank you to our “moms” in Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – May 30 was Mother’s Day in Haiti, so we held a special party for our “moms” at Zanmi Beni, the orphanage we started in conjunction with Partners in Health.

Those children who were able were encouraged to hand out gift bags to each of the staff members. We had a big cake with ice cream and it was really fun. It was touching to see the orphans giving their “moms” gifts and hugging them and kissing them. It really is like one big family here. The staff work so hard and it was good to have an opportunity for us to say thank you to them.
