To lighten things up a little bit and give a few program updates:
We had a very productive week at KCH; we’ve started our first group, putting 14 people into school, most of who are enrolled in ecole classique (high school equivalent) or professional education programs. Four students will be enrolled in university classes at the Academie Nationale Diplomatique et Consulaire (for diplomacy and political science students) and will start classes on November 2. We’re also in the beginning stages of our livelihood program; this Saturday we will have a meeting with interested potential entrepreneurs who are applying to enroll in a 29 day training program. I had the opportunity this week to tour a Haitian school where one of our students is enrolled; the students, teachers, and administrators were all very polite and kind. Our program has a lot of work still to do, but we are headed in the right direction.
Haitian meal of the week – spaghetti with beans, carrots, and hot sauce (Haitians eat spaghetti and anything, but it tends to include hot sauce)
Creole words of the week
Pike’ – hot sauce (accent on the e)
Bliye – forget
Pote – bring
Montre – show
Poze – relax, chill
Taptap word of the day is in homagge to the country that all Haitians seem to love for some reason
BRASIL
