Rachel's blog

Hi my name is Rachel and I am here through Malone University. Today has been a very eventful day as we planned and prepared things for the rest of our stay down here. In the afternoon we had the opportunity to go up the mountain and participate in a prayer walk throughout the community. Here we had the chance to take blood pressures and pray for the people we encountered. It was such an amazing and humbling experience. If someone had a high blood pressure we had the chance to educate the people of Haiti on things they can do to lower it. Being able to dive into the culture of Haiti has opened my eyes incredibly.  No matter what they are going through they never fail to have a smile on their face and to be grateful for what they have. I have noticed a great sense of community in the short time that I’ve been here. The people of Haiti truly cherish and take care of their family. After today’s experience I am super excited to see what God has in store for us throughout the rest of the trip. We ask that you continue to pray for us here in Haiti as we are showing the love of Christ and hope to touch as many lives as we can.
