Today was another kite flying day! It's nice to have a break in between medical teams and just hang out with the kids and interact with the community. During the school day, we try to keep our kids inside the compound (of our house) simply because 1) we homeschool and "try" to keep school hours to keep us on task and 2) we want to encourage the village kids to go to school and possibly us being out and about during school hours might be confusing. BUT......in the afternoons (after school hours) the kids enjoy flying kites with the kids in the area.
I'm sure we make a funny sight! In fact, people walk by and say, "gade blan" or look at the white people basically. Many of our kids blend right in since they are Haitian, but the rest of us stand out like anything. Especially while balancing on a ledge flying a kite with all the Haitian kids.
It was a beautiful day after the storm last night. I absolutely LOVE the weather in Haiti! We are so blessed to be here and especially in being up in the mountains where it is not so unbearably hot.
