Hello
All!
Last night's little get together with the Women's Art Group (formerly, Women of Courage) was delightful. They do so much for battered women and women in crisis as well as many semi-abandoned children. Then they spread their message through plays they put on for free throughout the country. Their batik silk scarves are gorgeous and worth the expensive price but don't expect any in your stockings this Christmas from us! We had everybody over to "our house" last night and it was really fun. Not so much, however, when the lizard got caught INSIDE our mosquito net! We had our hostess in stitches, although we didn't see the humor until later. Gail has purchased several of the "Mother Tongue Project" books that are written by kids from all around Haiti and the States so that our folks can take them back to St. Mak. They are written in Kreyol, English and French. Amazing.
This afternoon we
are learning to plant beets and relate it to teaching. Such fun! Tomorrow we
leave Mattenwa at 10:30 to head for the flight back to Port au Prince. It has
been quite an experience. Can't wait to tell you all about it! (and to shower,
wash our hair, and use a flush toilet!!)
Love, Gail and
Caroline
