A whole week has passed - so very long and so very short.
Laundry day - drying on our guest house roof top.
I wish I could send you a video of the buzz of activity in the sewing class...
I keep being excited...
I visited today to talk with the teacher about making Days for Girls kits.
He seems to think it's very doable - I am more hesitant given the responses of accomplished seamstresses in my life - but we live on hope and faith....
We visited the National Museum of Haiti today.
It was fascinating to see the interplay of major players in our history and theirs.
We saw lot's of artifacts and learned alot about their history (and - by the way we saw the anchor of the Santa Maria with a little circular hole in one place where a piece was removed to give to Charles Lindberg)
And, across from Museum, the bicentennial tower celebrating Haitian Independence. Young Roneldine called it the Haitian Eiffel Tower. She says folks can no longer climb it but it is decorated well at Christmas time.
Afterward we shared lunch with our hosts here at the Guest house (PB & J sandwiches and ham and cheese sandwiches, juice and cookies...)
And after a brief siesta we returned to the orphanage for basketball and coloring.
Christina is learning to make baskets from the OT therapy aid who is also teaching the class for adults.
What a good day!
