Return to Haiti...October 16th...pre-SANDY

Back in Haiti!  The trip was uneventful, just like we like it to be.  Now I’m back ‘on the ground’ here in Haiti.  Feels good as always. 

It’s always a pleasure to reconnect with people and see how they have grown and/or changed while I was away. 

I was able to help a 9th grader with a homework assignment the other night…at 9:15pm!  He was supposed to give some details about the death of Haiti’s first president, Dessalines.  We learned a couple of gruesome details.  Ugly story of treachery.  BUT, a great chance to help a student. 

BIG NEWS:  The container is on the way to Passe-bois-d’orme!   Whew!   It’s been several months, but the pile of supplies and materials that I sent last winter are now very close to making it here!  This is exciting.  They say the container may show up in town later today!   J    I’ll keep you posted!
