February 23, 2011 at 5:30 pmWhat do you eat on a typical day? Care to share any recipes?

February 23, 2011 at 5:44 pmWe’ve heard less about the cholera outbreak in Haiti. Does this mean it is not as big of a problem as it was? Also, has clinics like yours been setup in the tent cities like “Canaan” and “New Jerusalem”? What are the constant reoccurring items needed most by the clinic?

February 23, 2011 at 5:46 pmDo you have a water purifier and if so, from where? We would like to try and get one for the orphanage in Cite Millitaire.

February 23, 2011 at 6:54 pmWhat is your response if you have people that would like to come and truly help in the clinic or with your kids? Such as myself…I am selfishly asking. I am an education major so I can help with the kids a little…but would only be able to come for a week or something like that??

February 23, 2011 at 7:51 pmCan you “introduce” us to some of your Haitian employees? While I have been blessed to visit you and meet some of these great people – I only ‘know’ Gilbert! How did they come to you, what are their families like, etc would be interesting to know. How do you choose who to hire from what must be numerous candidates?

February 23, 2011 at 10:16 pm(Sorry I have so many Qs, but I’m very interested in Haiti and children’s homes. I am trying to learn Kreyol, along with a few other languages. I would love to work for something like this.) What is required (besides a passport) for an U.S. citizen to leave the U.S. and find a Haitian children’s home, like yours?
How would a “poor” college student, like myself, go about finding a place to volunteer in? Are there jobs for U.S. people in a place like yours, or do all U.S. people strictly volunteer?
Should I finish my Early Childhood Education degree before I venture out on an experience like this? Is there any opportunity for a job for someone with my degree?
How long do people typically stay for their first time, if not forever? 🙂
Thank you! And thank you for your blog!

February 24, 2011 at 11:58 amCan you tell me a little bit more about your relationship with the local catholic churches? Cooperative? Not not much interaction? Conflict? How your evangelization efforts square with whatever there is or isn’t of catholic culture/spirituality in the area?
Thanks.
Jennifer.
(FYI coming to this as a catholic married to an evangelical, and we support good missionary work of both stripes, including many excellent interdenominational projects. But we know that there is sometimes trouble in paradise. Curious how things are in your corner of the world.)

February 25, 2011 at 8:52 pmI also would love to hear from your staff there @ RHFH. I think they are amazing people! The first person I would pick would be the nurse who has been there from almost the beginning. Casey filmed her on the video tour of the Clinic last year. I’d love to hear about her life-how she chose nursing/about her childhood/her family/how she balances work/family/etc. What she would like to see in the future for RHFH, her village, her country,women? What is her advice to people in other countries who love the people of Haiti and want to come alongside them to help them reach their goals? I could go on and on and on. I want to know anything I can about the people I am daily learning to admire more & more!
