quick update

After a few days in Haiti, I can tell you one thing… it's hot. I've been told that in the winter it can get cold enough to where you want to turn off the fan, but I don't believe it. Eliza Brinkley, a YASCer finishing her year here, has been our wonderful guide to the city, showing us the stores and market as well as translating Créole for us. Dan Tootles, one of my bosses, is also here to help smooth the transition to life in Cap Haitian. On the 8th we visited the school, St. Barnabas Agricultural College, and met the faculty. The school itself needs a lot of work but the potential there is enormous. The staff was very excited to meet Mitch and me and I cannot wait to start working with them.
