Snow Queen in Haiti!

Thank you everyone for all of your support! I returned from my medical mission trip on Saturday. It was amazing; we saw over 900 patients and I was able to meet some really wonderful people. One of my favorite parts, however, was being able to bring the Snow Queen to the Bousol Timoun orphanage! I had met these children when I went to Haiti in the summer, so it was so great to see how much they’ve all grown!

 I snuck out at the end of church, and reappeared as none other than everybody’s favorite Snow Queen! The kids were speechless, and all wanted to touch my hair and dress. I sang “Let it Go” for them and their wonderful staff, and then they asked if we could sing it again! Took lots of pictures  with all of them and was able to talk to them through Hadassa, a very bright 11-year old who translated for me. Here are a few of the pictures.  

Me with the kids of Bousol Timoun! It was hard getting them all to look at the camera, they were more interested in my dress.

You can’t see here, but there were five or six little ones around me that were trying to wrap the bottom of my dress around themselves, asking to be picked up, and making silly faces!

This is little Fidniel. I had the pleasure of meeting her in the summer when she was 4-months old, having just arrived at the orphanage. She was tiny! Now she is a year old, starting to walk, and so, so sweet! And we even matched :)

And here is my special little friend, Erline. When I was working there over the summer, she was always on my hip. She was excited to see me again, though the fact that everyone was now calling me Elsa confused her a little. So glad I got to hold her and see her beautiful face again!

Thank you everyone for your continued support. I will absolutely be continuing parties! Money will still all be donated, though slightly differently. Much will be going towards patient needs, which is a fund for patients we see in clinics that we do not have the resources to treat, such as a women we met who was 8-months pregnant and could not safely deliver the baby. This fund helps get people like her the medical care they need. Some money will be put into a savings account for when I decide where I am going next. I absolutely love Haiti, and could definitely see myself continuing there, but I have also begun talking to a clinic in Malawi about partnering with them to conduct some research. Finally, some will be put towards a computer for college, as I plan on studying and researching Neuroscience and Epidemiology at the University of Rochester. All party money does, and always will, support my missionary work overseas.

Thank you again to all of my supporters!
