While away in Haiti, I didn’t want to leave the stevansheets.com visitors without any updates, so each day that I am away, there will be a new post with various information about the island of Haiti and other useful(less?) information!

Haiti (Haïti in French; Ayiti in Haitian Creole; Hayti in nineteenth century English), officially the Republic of Haiti, occupies one-third of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. The country also includes many smaller islands such as La Gonâve, La Tortue (Tortuga), Les Cayemites, ÃŽle de Anacaona, and La Grande Caye. The uninhabited island of Navasse is claimed by both Haiti and the United States. ‘Ayiti’ (Haiti) being the indigenous Taíno name for the island. Its highest point is Chaine de la Selle, which has a height of 2,680 meters. Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. The total area of Haiti is 27,750 km² (10,714 sq mi) and its capital is Port-au-Prince.

In just about a half-hour, I will be gathering with the other 6 from my team at the church and we will spend some time in prayer with our families and friends from our church. We will then get on the road and head South! (and then North?)

“My bags are packed, I’m ready to go….”

Also – DON’T STOP visiting stevansheets.com over the next few days – there WILL be regular daily updates (I typed them out yesterday!) to keep you laughing and guessing as to what is REALLY happening with us in Haiti! The posts will go “live” around Noon each day, so stay tuned!

I’m off.
