<p>I&#8217;m back home from a mission trip to Guatemala and Haiti with Children&#8217;s HopeChest. It was a fantastic trip, and I&#8217;ll be sharing many photographs, videos and stories from the trip here on this blog. The work HopeChest does with orphans around the world is awesome.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is a young girl in the remote village of Fond Blanc in Haiti, where HopeChest sponsors an orphanage. It felt like National Geographic as I walked around the village and met many of the nationals. Again and again I was surprised how friendly and open the Haitians were once you smiled or waived.</p>
