Another another amazing day at Wings! I am in love with many of the children and while we saw cockroaches and conditions that would be considered unacceptable by our standards, the kids are happy, cared for by people that care for the kids and overall get very good care! I got to do a bit of teaching to the nurse today, and gave positive feedback for her work. The rain started just as we were leaving Wings today and I have been told that until there is a river flowing, these rains are quite typical of Haitian weather. We went to the Giant Market on our way home. This is the very North American market I talked about in previous emails. We took all the stock off the shelves of coffee and vanilla. Karen was an awesome leader and focused on the important things like the supplies that we would need to make rum sours for the next few days (rum, lemon juice, and lots of ice). The market was packed full of people trying to stock up on supplies for the storm.
I took some pictures which have been uploaded to Facebook. We are supposed to head out to Olaffson tonight to see RAM play and do some dancing. Karen said she is going to break out the sparkly shoes again and that I am going to learn how to Haitian dance but I'm not sure we are going to get out as the rain is coming down quite a bit now. Amazing how comforting it is to be in a room full of amazing people, drinking rum sours and hearing the rain fall on a tin roof. I think I've found a little piece of heaven!
Bon Bagay! ( I think that is right)---- I'm trying!
