Beautiful People, Beautiful Places

Place: Miragoâne, Haiti aka Ginette's home town
When: July 23rd, 2011
Description: 3 hours from the guest house in P-a-P meets beautiful countryside of southwest Haiti
 Mission: Educate locals about cholera, distribution of TOMS Shoes, rice, dresses, and school supplies

Ginette and I educating the public on how to prevent and treat cholera, hygiene practices, proper disposal of feces, etc.

 Beautiful children!

 Shoe sizes



 From what I've observed thus far, children get more upset in getting TOMS Shoes versus getting a shot at clinic. It never fails. Once one child cries it's a symphony of bawling babies.

 After a long day Ginette treated us to Miragoânes beaches for a chance to cool off.
