Planning a community..
So many times I have sat in awe of the situation here in Haiti and wondered how and when it would be restored. At the rate the destruction is being cleared off, it will be 40 years just to get to where things can be rebuilt again. And with what money? And what economy? It […]
Cars and cockroaches. Paper and Hair.
Last night in the middle of the night, Keziah woke up to snuggle but then quickly announced that she needed some water. I told her to help herself, so she quietly tip-toed into the kitchen and returned to non-chalantly let me know that when she had gotten water from the water cooler a giant cockroach […]
