Yesterday night Sarah, one of the 6th grade teachers, told us about her experience in helping with wound care in southern Haiti. And it was just so sad seeing the pictures, it really did look like a bomb went off all over the south, all the trees were uprooted and all the agriculture and gardens were ruined. So the people there have no food because of that. And so Sarah is an amazing person with an incredible heart and her and Amber (the other 6th grade teacher) are doing whatever they can to help. And at this time, it is planting seeds in these little bags that they will ship over to Dan Marie, the area that Sarah helped at that had a lot destroyed by the hurricane. They got 1500 of those bags so far and they have neighbors helping them plant the seeds and its just awesome that they found a way to bring support to those people even though we live far from there. And so please just don't forget to not stop praying for those affected by the hurricane. The results of it were devastating, especially since it wiped out their whole agricultural system, so that they really have no food and have to start over all their gardens. So please, keep them in your prayers. Don't forget about them and that they still need support.
Also on Sunday I went to see Ketsia's Mom and Dad sing at their church. It wasn't during their church service, but basically their mom and dad are lead singers in a Christian singing group and they had an event taking place in their church that afternoon so they invited me to come. It was really fun. I got to sit by a bunch of little kids and listen to her parents sing, there were even MC's there who talked between the songs. And they also did a little play and recited poetry and there was dancing too, and I just watched all the little kids go crazy dancing everywhere, it was entertaining. And her mom talked in front of everybody, I wish knew Kreyol better so I could know what she said, but at the end she pointed me out and said I was Ketsia's teacher and that she was happy to see me, she made me feel so special haha it was sweet. But they told me this event started at 3, so I thought oh maybe I'll be home by 5. But I got there and it didn't actually start until like 4:15 haha, but that was fine because I waited at Ketsia's house and sat and talked with her. And then It didn't end until 8 pm haha, I was not expecting that haha, but it was okay because I was having so much fun anyway. But I felt bad because I was supposed to take a taxi home, so her dad walked me up to the street where the mopeds pass by, but there were none, so he had to walk me home, but he was so nice and he told me not to be sorry when I apologized and he even asked me, "whats your favorite juice, I can buy you some juice" Both her parents are so so nice and sweet. I didn't tell him my favorite juice though because I didn't want him to have to buy me any haha. But it was so nice that he wanted to.
And then last Saturday, I had a Kreyol test with Kimley at his mom's restaurant that I got 100% on, whoop whoop! :)
