English in Desire

Today was a great day and a first for our short term teams in Desire. We taught approximately 65 kids English in school today. The team did a fantastic job getting the older kids to continue what we started back in October as a pilot program, and introducing the younger kids to phrases of introducing themselves in English and learning colors and farm animals.

Then this afternoon we went back up to Desire to play, sing, practice English, and practice our learning Creole. This evening we closed out our busy day by visiting an American missionary woman who runs an orphan home in Gonaives. The highlight of this visit was listening to the children sing to us and for me to see a young boy who has AIDS who I met this past July and have him say "of course I remember you!"

The team is doing very well and growing very close to one another which is always one of my favorite things to witness and be a part of each time I come to Haiti with a team.
