Something Old

The average life expectancy is only 57.

We visited Le Bon Samaritain an old age home in Ounaminthe, Haiti. It is amazing to see the home is run by 76 year old Sister Elaine a nun from Canada. She has lived in Haiti for decades after she saw the need when she was younger.

The oldest in the home is 106 years old and her great, great granddaughter is part of the school that the home also offers to the poorest children in Ounaminthe.

It is beautiful to see how the youngest interact with the oldest in this home.
