Skit
Daniel (above) wrote a short skit about the history of Haiti. Having been slaves is never far from their consciousness. That's Julio (top) who assisted Daniel in today's performance.
Birthday bash
Maitre Etienne, our Director of Education, was very eloquent as our Master of Ceremonies today.
Our youngest boy and girl were chosen to be the gift-bearers.

Feed My Starving Children
Jimmy, Pierre Richard, Bonhomme and Yolin
A forty foot container of fortified rice from Feed My Starving Children arrived this morning. Lots of hands were needed and they showed up to unload the container. God bless FMSC and Chris Stout who made this happen.

Rain
It's been raining off and on since last evening. This means that the pathways the kids take to come to school are all muddy and slippery, some streams are swollen and few children have rain gear. As a result, only about 50% of the children showed up at pre-school this morning.
School directors meet
Maitre Etienne, the older gentleman with the white trousers, is our Director of Education. He hosted a meeting with the directors of our six schools. Tiburon's director was somehow able to make it even though the rain has threatened to cut off the road from there to here. We are fast approaching the end of another academic year and the meeting was an opportunity to tie up loose ends and start planning for next year.
