This past Friday the staff gathered at the home of Ad and Coby de Blaeij. Ad works for CRWM and Coby is the pre-K teacher at QCS. This yearly event to come to eat and sing Christmas carols at the de Blaeij home is now a tradition, in its second year:-) There were more than 50 people gathered at this joyful event. It is great that we are able to travel freely and come and worship and bow down to worship the King of all kings - singing together that Jesus is the Lord of lords and the King of kings.

When we need to travel as a staff, many of us enter the cage of the school truck. It is like a tap tap, having a bench on both sides of the vehicle. It has 'air conditioning' in the back and you also have the diesel fumes of the truck, especially in the city. The ride isn't bad, but one needs to be careful not to bump their head while traveling over the rough terrain.



Each day we have power from the generator which is on campus. Each school day it runs from 7 AM - 4 PM. If we have electricity from the city, it is a bonus. Lately, that bonus has come early in the mornings such as 4 AM. It helps charge the batteries through the inverters for all those who have an inverters. Haitians generally do not have this. They have little fuel, no electricity. On the weekends we have power for four hours. This is Robenson Merantus, who is part of the security team at QCS. He also has the responsibility of starting the generator on Sundays.
