It’s like Haiti came to me

It’s been over three months since I have been in Haiti - the longest break I’ve taken since COVID put a nix on travel in 2020.

I miss so many things about being in Haiti (the people, the food, the sounds, the atmosphere), but this weekend I feel like a part of Haiti came to me when Rugbi Ayiti visited Wilmington to play in the Cape Fear Rugby 7’s tournament.

Several players stayed here in our home, and I had the opportunity to go to a practice, watch several matches, and have individual conversations which I enjoyed immensely. We even all went out to dinner at Oceanic, thanks to Rick’s generosity.

A weekend of hearing Haitian Creole, having deep conversations about the current realities in Haiti, and supporting the dreams of a future national team was good for my soul.

Thanks for including me in your adventures, Rugbi Ayiti!
