We just got back from teaching english to 1st and 2nd graders again. We were supposed to be teaching these new students, but at the door to the classroom stood all the preschool children we had taught the previous days. They were singing and saying the A B C's along with us. This is a classic example of how hungry the Haitian people are for knowledge and how starving the children are for attention.
There is work for anyone here that wants to do anything. Anyone can find themself useful in Haiti.
So I made lasagna for everyone at the house the other night. We went and got ground beef, tomato paste and noodles and cheese and olive oil. Then we compensated and turned the paste into tomato sauce with some water, and made everything on the open charcoal fire in the kitchen in a big pot. It actually turned out alright. It had a little bit different taste, but everyone really liked it, and it was nice to have.
So, we only have 10 minutes of internet left at the cyber cafe, so we've finished our emailing and staying in contact with family. We are headed to pick up Roland's little sister Vanessa from school and then we are going to celebrate my staright A's in the previous semester at WVU ( that i just found out about on my cell phone the other day) at a restaurant. We're going to get hambergers!!!
