Photos from Haiti

Hello everyone!

I'm back home now and have had time to recover from our busy trip and the jetlag, so I thought I would put some photos on here for you to see some of the children we met. There were thousands of photos taken! They are all great, but these are some of my favourites:

These are the people on the team

The children have lovely smiles!Florence lives in the orphanage. Her family died in the earthquake and Florence was found buried under rubble 3 days later

This is the youngest little boy in the orphanage. He also lost his family in the earthquake.

These two photos are of children collecting water for their families. It's much easier for us to turn on the tap!



The children loved playing parachute games.

They loved singing songs too and, in this photo, they are doing an action song.


A very cute little girl!

Coming home!

Hi everyone!

Well, Mercy and everyone else on the team in Haiti are now on their way home. It's a long journey so please pray for them! They've had an amazing times - there have been lots of difficult things to see and handle, but they've met lots of amazing people too and I have a feeling they might not be quite the same again! Mercy is looking forward to letting us know what she's been up to and showing us some photos.

They were in the Scotsman newspaper yesterday too! If you want to look it up online, here is the link: http://news.scotsman.com/edinburgh/scots-helping-to-ease-earthquake.6192537.jp
