Louise Noel of Haiti

Louise Noel of Haiti, Figure & Portrait
Louise Noel of Haiti
Louise Noel is part of The Quench Project. Louise is the loving mother of Pastor Medit, my gracious host at the Bread of Life Orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti. Louise was always smiling, as the 22 orphans played and worked around her. When she stood up, the children were there to help her, placing her shoes on her feet, helping her walk. Her kind, gentle energy seemed to ground everyone in the compound. We spoke only in smiles, as I didn’t speak Creole and she didn’t speak English. I was so drawn to her spirit; I knew she would be my starting point in the project.
