I then proceeded to walk back and forth between all the kids on the swings pushing them higher and higher including little Magdala who would take her hands off the chains every time I pushed and laugh. I stand behind her scared to death she will fall!
Keith also just put in a tire swing and the kids can’t stay off. I asked Moise, one of the older boys, if he had more fun on it than the younger kids. He said no but every chance he gets he’s swinging that thing so high I’m afraid he will flip it over the top.
Liette, Joan and Keith did a lot more work with sponsored kids today including the preschool who are the cutest things I’ve ever seen. They all walk in a line holding the shoulders of the one in front and then you see the little ones running behind to keep up. I admire those teachers because in Haiti it's not just nap time and playing with blocks. They start learning at that age. How do the teachers keep them all focused?

Later, we had the high school students who are too cool to smile in their pictures. Last year I tried everything and still only got a few smiles. They always think the picture is better without it and if you make them laugh they will cover their face.

Liette, Keith and Joan were pretty tired after long days of staring at translating, labeling and updating lists of students and sponsors!

This afternoon, we got to walk along the canal. It is so beautiful and so much fun seeing all the cows, horses and goats. We got back thankfully with no kids in the canal though there were some close calls. Immediately they want to play soccer again I don’t know how I am going to keep up!

Good Job Heather, you must be beat by supper time. I bet you sleep well! Great to see Keith, Joan and Liette hard at the photos and letters, it is a H U G E job! If you never see it in action you have no idea of how hard and long it is!
