Haiti Mission Trip

[solomon.trenton]

Most of you know that I have been collecting discs and raising money for a mission trip to Haiti for over two years now. Well I finally went this past week after a bunch of setbacks and had a great time. I went down with close to 300 discs and 4 Innova Traveler baskets. While in Haiti I was able to design and install a course on the compound. In between all of these activities we built a temporary wall in the orphanage, built a swing set, moved a massive rock pile and flattened out ground by the swing set. We also did a lot of landscaping at the orphanage and painted some of the clinic as well as more landscaping at the mission compound.
My original reason for going down was to wire the orphanage and school. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances that wasn't able to happen. We did however do a lot of work in making the orphanage safer for the children there and got to spend a lot of time getting to know the kids. All I can say is I can't wait to go back. If you have any questions please feel free to ask away.

Stranger things have happened...

You never know, maybe one day we'll be coveting a 2x "some Haition dude's disc," and we'll have Trent to thank for it. As quoted in Disc Golfer: "I got my start playing on a little 4 hole course with portable baskets and donated discs, and I was hooked."
