Our Librarian, Randall Chabot, who is a Canadian and has been in Haiti forever :-) was bringing these goats to a family in the country. They spent a day at school making friends with the ES children and even me. The mother was tied up and her kids did not wander far from her.




The kindergarten students celebrated Chinese New Year and tried their hand at chop sticks. I didn't stick around because I can't do chop sticks and the food they served was not my favourite :-)







This is the Pre -K class getting a lesson on dental hygiene from their teacher, using bottled water at the sink. They may not drink the tap water at school, but at all ties need to drink bottled water. Each classroom in the ES has their own five gallon water cooler which the students use to fill up their water bottles.



Almost and not yet. The men were splicing the fibre optic cable and we were hoping that it would be connected for the weekend. But no :-( This is a Japanese firm using an existing Haitian company and putting the fibre optic wire everywhere in the city and also the country side. The school will also serve as a relay station methinks since they are installing a lot more than what was to happen - and not at our cost. That's the good part. Now it just needs the final touch and voila! I will let you know when that happens and if it is a reliable service :-)
