In His Arms: One World, One Language

From Hayden:

One of the greatest challenges we have on our journeys to Haiti is the language barrier.  While we can learn a little Creole just to be polite, it ends about the time we figure out names.  But, the one thing that is universal in any language is a smile.  It transcends cultures and barriers and opens up a world of possibilities.  When we show that one person that we genuinely care about him or her, they begin to open up.  And while we may might not be able to understand the words each of us speaks, in that moment we have touched each other's life.
