Today I planned on making a few runs to the airport to get our luggage. It normally comes with the following flight. We usually do not get it the same day as it weighs too much so they often make a separate flight for luggage only. I headed out with Thom to the airport to pick up John and we also got quite a bit of the luggage. Once we got back we told him about the power and he had Ermilien and Youmi work on it. Within about five minutes they had it back together and it worked great. I was impressed that they connected it back together without cutting the power. He said he used his pliers to twist the wire back together. He said, "It only sparked once." It's always amazes me how things are done here. No laddere were used either. They just climbed up on the gate and reached up to grab the wire.
Later today I went to my classroom and began working on lesson plans since school starts back tomorrow.
About Me
- DJodts
- I have created this blog to share the stories of my trip to Haiti as a missionary at Sonlight Ministries as I will be teaching Algebra, Geometry, Adv. Math as well as 6th grade math. Sonlight Ministries was started by Roger and Norma Alexander in 1985 after their second year in Haiti. Before moving to Haiti I have visited four times on one week trips to volunteer with anything that was needed. This mainly consisted of construction work as groups from my church, WRCC, have helped build a new multipurpose building for Sonlight which will be called SonCenter. Construction isn’t the only type of work. Some like to spend time in the classrooms interacting with the students as teachers aides or sitting in the hall with a student one-on-one to help with grammar, math, etc. Groups have also helped with numerous tasks such as painting inside houses, outside houses, and rooftops. If you enjoy helping others and would ever consider visiting please let me know; it is a life changing experience.
