Headache…
I had a headache for the greater portion of the day… and have been up all day long, so this is going to be short tonight.
Up early this morning dealing with workers and broken tools.. maybe that’s where the headache came from. Also, from workers not going to the job site but thinking they were riding with me.
Made it to Cite Soleil around 7am. Took the workers to the new site and then walked my mom and crew around to see the houses we have built already. They really enjoyed it. Especially being in Cite Soleil – the kids are amazing there.
After C/S we drove out to Mission of Hope to pick up some pallets and tents. My head hurt so bad by now that I just laid down on some pillows in the back of the big tap tap. I slept the whole 30-40 min drive. We picked up 35 pallets and 25 tents and then came home.
Lunch was amazing grilled cheese sandwiches and a nap. I was supposed to go to the bank and the airport but the guy at the bank didn’t answer the phone and the flight was delayed. I was able to take a 2 hr nap and slightly reduce the headache. 4 o’clock rolled around and off to the airport I went. Autumn accompanied me to the airport. I am in the middle of reworking my deal with the administrators at the airport so I couldn’t use the easy gate today. I had to use different procedures, but it all still worked out pretty nice.
On the way back to the compound, we were following the tap tap with the bags and all of a sudden the wheel/axle broke on the tap tap. It just kinda flopped off in the road. Pretty sad… Marconelle wasn’t happy. Hopefully he will have it fixed soon.
The group that is here now is going to be great. They are passing out shoes to all of the students/teachers/workers at the Terre Noir and Cite Soleil compounds.
Only one more day with my mom. I think I am taking them to the beach while I go to the port and do some business, then I will join up with them. It will be sad when she leaves.
Off to bed. Talk with everyone tomorrow.
Always with Love,
Stephen
