Samuel lives at the school in two rooms at one end of the cafeteria.  He lives with his parents, sister and cousin.  Both his parents work at the school, his mother working in the kitchen and his father in charge of the school grounds. He use to be scared of the teams

One day while working at the school I saw Magdala and Samuel where sitting in the area where there mom was working at the school, they looked so cute.  These two little children worked so hard with the team.  Magdala was only about four years old and wanted so hard to help carry the buckets of cement.  Samuel did not want her to get hurt and kept trying to take the buckets away from her.

This young man was watching us while we were working on the job site.  His face really made me wonder what he was thinking about all us Americans working on his school.

This young man worked with the team a lot.  I loved his make sift boots and his attitude that was so willing to work was just great, it made you smile.  He won the hearts of many of the team members as he could also flash you a smile and look sad within the same second.

While walking along a rocky path up in the mountains of Kenscoff I came upon these little flowers just growing among the rocks.  With all Haiti’s turmoil and cue’s many people who have never been to Haiti think that is all there is and that is sad because there is so much more.  Like these rocks that were everywhere, I could have missed the beauty of these flowers if I had not taken time to slow down and really look.

This picture was taken in the kindergarten area of the school were our team was working.  The children go to Kindergarten for three years starting at age 3.  These two little girls where so cut.   I think they were supposed to be in their classroom though not out in the courtyard.

This was the first time I saw poinsettias just growing in the wild.  It was beauty and was like a large bush

One of the things we often do with a team on the last day is take them to the beach.  We want the team to see more than just the city and the two-hour drive out to the beach really starts to show the countryside.  And after working hard in the hot sun for days the beach is not only beautiful but also very refreshing.
