Some of my students on their way to chapel. Jephte is carrying our music bag (the kids LOVE playing these during our time of worship ... they are so rhythmically gifted!), Scheydline is showing off her pretty pink-polka-dot dress, and Valens is lookin' like Mr. Cool =)

My two birthday boys, Mario and Valens. They both had birthdays the weekend before school started on October 6, so we celebrated them together the last Friday of the month. We had a fun party, complete with a game of "Pin the Tail on the Horse" =)
Woodeline (my little translator, who's getting quite good, by the way!) spinning Scheydline for her turn in the horse game.
Some of Mr. Illioney's students hanging out together after school. Eli (on the left) is definitely one of my favorite kids at the school ... he's already 16, but because of the nature of the Haitian school system, he never did very well in school and has been held back quite a few grades. But he's a brilliantly gifted kid - very artistic and musical, a natural leader (helps teach P.E. class with Lizzy), and an amazing friend to everyone. Tamara (the one in the middle) is a beautiful young woman with a sensitive heart and aspirations to become either a doctor or an interior designer. And Lizzy (Terry's one and only daughter) is just an all-around wonderful girl. She and Eli are close friends and they hang out all the time on the base, along with Samuel, her younger brother.
