These pictures happened to be on our camera, right next to the pictures of our lovely house. We live betwixt and between here - between two cultures, and two radically different standards of living. Rarely am I struck so hard by that as I was when I downloaded these pictures onto our computer.
I am thankful we don't live in the Puerto Plata dump. The people that live in the Puerto Plata dump are thankful they don't live in Haiti.
The below picture is one of my all-time favorites. It's a beautiful moment that sometimes happens when we go to the dump. Barriers fall away, and people become people. This Dallas Christian student jumped in the middle of the clapping, singing Haitians and showed off his moves. They LOVED it.
