One of the things they got to see was the orphanage which is something Mrs. Prestel helped me out with last year. She helped me put together a fundraiser that raised money for the Potter's House.
Mrs. Prestel brought in Easter stuff to give to the orphans. The things we delivered were these(to each child): an Easter egg, (that was full of starburst, chocolate, stickers, and balloons), toothbrushes, and water-bottles.
With them we went to the Villa Cana (which is a hotel), a beach, up the mountain side, and to some of the kids Daniel is feeding (which was so emotional that Mrs. Prestel cried). Daniel is a Haitian who feeds starving children.
Let me share with you a few photos...
Mrs. Prestel came to the school and taught us about poetry. All the students loved it!
Mr. and Mrs. Prestel brought cereal, pop tarts, and other goodies for us.
At school with a lizard in her hand?!
These are some of the treats she brought in for the orphans.
The Prestels treated us to the Villa Cana several times. We had an awesome time there.
These are the eggs, filled with little candies, that Mrs. Prestel brought in for the orphans.
This is Mrs. Prestel standing with the kids in front of the orphans' new house.
This is Mr. and Mrs. Prestel standing in front of the school (The principal's office more specifically). Mr. Prestel helped with P.E. and that kind of stuff. By the way, the volley ball net was a big hit and only one Frisbee I know of has been thrown over the wall.
They brought Phase 10 with them which is a card game. We had a blast.
This is us on our way to Daniel's house where he was feeding starving kids.

A kid's sandals broke so Mrs. Prestel went out on the street to buy her a new pair and ended up buying about five more pairs for kids without shoes.
The kids after their new shoes were bought and the Prestels.
This is Mr. Prestel and me in the back of the truck in front of the restaurant La Kay.
This is a game the Prestels showed us. It's called Zip Bang. Basically you have to not show your teeth and say either "Zip" or "Bang." If you show your teeth, you're out. That's hard when you want to laugh so much.
More Zip Bang.
That is us getting off at Dhaloo Beach. Dhaloo is a beautiful place.
This is us at the beach. We all really enjoyed it!
It was really fun to show them our home and the way we live here. I think they really enjoyed the visit too. It was only a week, but I think it made a big impact on their lives. Who knows, maybe they'll be back next year!
