We started Monday with our second sewing school graduation.
Big events like weddings and graduations always crack me up in Haiti because you see a totally different side of women.
Not only do they all look different with the new hair they just bought, they suddenly come out of their shells and act like run way models. We worked hard at making the program nicer for the ladies this year by adding special little things. We added special report cards and fancy certificates of completion for those who graduated. I put together a video of all the different things that happened during the year. Haitians love to see and get pictures of everything. When I asked about music for the program, Wyclef Jean was the music of choice. Every event in Haiti must have food, so Beth and I made chocolate chip and M & M bars that got eaten by the handful.
It was a good time. The other funny thing about big events in Haiti is they never start on time. But we operate on American time so when we had guests show up an hour and a half late I had to laugh. We had already started to clean up and move on to the next event. Sewing ladies would start sewing soon, the literacy ladies would be coming for class soon, Marjorie would be matching fabric and we needed to do some serious packing.
