Ruuska Village, Our Hosts

This Little Boy Stole my Heart

When we first arrived in Haiti, we stayed the first couple of nights and final night in Ruuska Village, which is an adoption agency in Port Au Prince.   The kids were great there.  I had so much fun with them.

When we got ready to leave Haiti, my friend Shawn wanted to adopt this little boy.   He had a hard to letting go of him.  The kids just have that effect on you. 

Here is a beautiful baby girl that was there that day.

They are working on providing homes for the children in the US and South/Central America.    It is a great place, and they were excellent hosts to us.  We met many nice people there from the US working to improve the adoption agency, and adopt children.    It suffered some earthquake damage but has been repaired quite nicely.   They graciously offered to let us stay there as our home base and took great care of us.   We also got a chance to spend a day or so working around the village.  We are very thankful for all of their generosity.
