Our local “lambi” marchands are back with their fresh
catch. Children earn a few dollars
selling conch.
“Canet” School
Promotion
July 9, 2012
This morning we began the day, and the week, with the best
Haitian yellow squash soup made with fresh home grown squash, fresh potatoes,
carrots, spring onion, spaghetti, and macaroni.
What a healthy way for the kids to begin their day. A little too many carbs for me but it was so
good that I couldn’t resist. Today was
the official day for grade promotion at the school. Each student in encouraged to bring along
their parents so I was proud to be parent of the kids from Kay Timoun. The school director talked about how
important education is for children in Bondeau, and recognized that parents had
to make great sacrifices to be able to pay the small tuition fee, plus buy
books, uniform, and shoes. He stressed
that Ste. Marie Madeleine School follows government guidelines for school,
using government standards. He presented
each child with their report card, commenting on each individual student. Gastina, Ana, and Christian received high
honors and special recognition.
