Friendships...

I am totally amazed that over 140 people got on an airplane in Miami and flew to Haiti one day...

That day, unless you knew your group and the people in it, everyone else were complete strangers. A week later...

Most of those same 140+ people got back on an airplane in Haiti and flew to Miami...

Almost everyone knew each other. We had shared time with, worked with, or had been involved/in contact with almost everyone that went! Disparate groups, shared a common experience, got to know one another, made contacts, and are continuing the friendships to this day! From the "micro," our Team... to the "macro," all that were on the flight... to the "global," those that were in Haiti when we were, including a quite a few Haitians!

As Flagstaff prepares to return to Haiti, with two separate teams to return in April and May...

Let us all hope that the same will occur again!
