First summer camp for poor children in Baie-des-Hennes / Haiti (Gros Raisin campsite) With this first trial run of a camp in the border of Artibonite and the North-west of Haiti we made a lot of experiences. Organizing, leading, coordinating and managing a variety of activites while at the same time being 24 hours around the clock with children is not easy. This was the first time for them to be out on their own without a parent, uncle or family member. Thanks to the facilitators (moniteurs) and organiser Jagatbandhu everything went smoothly. The bulk of the students were from Jacky's Karate class and proved to be in good shape for the camp. The only inconvenience was the extreme heat after 10 AM. to 3 P.M. So all were happy when it went off to the forest to recover a lost treasure. Both teams went with canoes about 2 miles along the coast to a beautiful forest with interspersed gardens to find a secret treasure. they had to extract it with a rope and not touch the inside of the delineated ground because it was mined. The pirate team 2 was almost as successful as the first one : The footbal match with Baie-des-Hennes youth was one of the best highlights of the camp. We won with penalty shoot out 6-4 goals... Team mates in front of the catholic church Baie-des-Hennes A fierce game ended with a 6-4 penalty shootout. Canoes were our savior, when the car broke down we brought drinking water from Baie-des-Hennes...3 km away = 30 min of rowing, rowing and rowing... Miscellaneous photos of beauty and fun...
