First day of school

Today was the first day of school but in typical Haitian fashion the first week is poorly attended as many students are still waiting for their uniforms to be finished and school supplies ready. School normally starts in early September but the government delayed opening this year as there were problems with marking last years provincial exams. The kids enjoyed the extra few weeks of summer holidays but were ready to go back today.

Here are some of the H2H kids, showing off their new uniforms and proud that they're among the first at school!



It has been a busy week in the compound getting ready for school... the most anticipated task of course was cutting the boys hair...

so great to see an update, I have been missing reading your blog :) I have made an email connection with Stan P, and he will be bringing some letters to your students when he visits in Feb.
