Leaving Haiti

I left Les Cayes two days ago and when I landed in Port-au-Prince later that morning, I boarded a bus to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where I am now. This weekend I´ll be in Santiago and Puerto Plata, DR and next week I´ll be traveling to Bavaro. After 2 weeks in the DR, I´ll be catching the bus back to Haiti and from there will fly out to Puerto Rico for 11 days to visit family that I haven´t seen since I was 2 years-old. I´ll be back in Providence, RI on May 23rd.

It was hard leaving and I´m actually procrastinating because I don´t want to right about my last days yet until it really soaks in that I won´t be going back. It´s still hard to believe that a year has gone by already. I´ll write more soon.

Will, its a sad day at Espwa I am sure because you are gone. I feel sad because I know you had a wonderful influence on the kids and implementing a public health system there was phenomenal. Good luck going forward. Arnie

Hey Will,

A year certainly does fly by quickly. You and I came to Haiti at about the same time.

It's been cool to follow your experiences. You have accomplished so much and have a lot to be proud of. I'm sure that you've been a huge blessing to Pwoje Espwa.

Wishing you equally successful endeavours when you return to the US.
