It has been an eventful month! Mya, Heather and I have moved to Dajabon. Just across the border in the Dominican Republic. We cross into Haiti each day which is a bit chaotic. Setting up house in a town that does not have power 24/7 has been a bit of a challenge but we are settling in. With 35 girls on top of each other at the girl's house this gave them more room to spread out with us moving over to the DR.
School has begun in full force and the new kindergarten class has started. Those tiny kids (4 year olds) are hilarious. Nap time happens with heads on tables right around 11am. And the hair bows are back in full force!
We have been watching the boys playing soccer in a tournament that seems to go on forever. They are in the final on the 16th! The girls have started volleyball and are training 3 times a week.
We have started collecting supplies to build our chicken coop behind the school. The garden on the roof is ready for another crop of tomatoes! The basil is flourishing and the kids keep telling me they are going to teach me to make tea from it.
We've had a couple of brushes with the hurricanes however nothing has been really bad so far. Just hard hard rain and some thunder/lightening storms. Everyone in NA usually knows about them before we do!
If anyone is interested in being part of building our chicken coop, garden projects or general support for my work in Haiti you can donate here on my blog or check out my website @
Thanks!
