Hey guys! My name is Kelly, and I will be working with Jocelyn this summer in Terrier Rouge and Thomonde.
We are currently in Providenciales, Turks & Caicos with Janet, our mentor who is kindly traveling with us. It was quite a day of travel and fun. It was raining here on this beautiful island, but we didn’t let that stop us from having fun! When we arrived at the hotel, we settled in and went exploring.
Early tomorrow morning we leave for Haiti! We are flying from Providenciales to Cap-Haïtien, and from there we will drive to Terrier Rouge.
Tomorrow begins what I know will be the experience of a lifetime. I must confess I am a little nervous, but mostly I am very excited to finally be on our way! I cannot believe it is about to start. I am very interested in learning about and getting to know the Haitians. I believe that my life is a canvas and all those who come into contact with it add a little something; some magenta here, lots of gold there. It is my hope that I can color the lives of others as well.
I also owe a big thank you to the team I worked with to develop the curriculum Jocelyn and I will be implementing in Terrier Rouge. Darren, Valerie, and Lila, you are awesome!
More to come when we get to Terrier Rouge!
