Today was full of Orphanages. I started the day thinking okay Callie Spilker you have to be smart, you cannot get attached to these children. Not allowed. But the moment the door to the first orphanage opened I was bombarded with little hands grabbing me wanting to be held an played with. At first I only played from a distance. Tickling an what not. But then this little cutie came and just held my leg. We played a bit and even though we couldn't communicate I started popping my lips together and then she started doing it too. We made up our own little game. It was just too precious. Even though we couldn't speak to each other we still found a way to connect. After that she rested her head on me an feel asleep. I am in BIG trouble ladies an gents. I mean realistically how many of them can store in my luggage to take home? One? Two max? Oh boy. The orphanage has already taught me one thing. The power of touch. How much a touch can give. We can't communicate with these little ones. But just to be held or hugged or tickled means the world to them. So if I come home all touchy touchy you just better start preparing yourselves now.
Other subjects: my hair is insane. No matter what I do. Braid pony etc. because we are literally walking an on the move from 7am-8pm it just gets so razzled. There are SO many stray animals mainly dogs. They are all bare bones an scare the poop out of me. Mainly because I'm always scared of dogs. But now they have the potential to give me infectious diseases.
Lots more I wish I could tell you if I had the time. Loving Haiti now. Really I can't wait to get my hands dirty with teaching etc. the people here are so amazing. It's rediculous. Over n out homies.
