Here are Boss Kala and Boss Dieudonne working on the frames for the window of the earth bag house. A skilled craftsmen is called "boss". An advanced apprentice is called tiBoss (little boss). As this is a mini-course in Creole, Dieudonne means "God-given". There are some pretty cool names here. Here's one that is special: a priest friend of mine is called Dieusait which means "God knows". His health was very fragile when he was born and his mom kept saying "God knows" if he'll make it. He did and was baptized Dieusait--God knows!
