nou renmen Ayiti!
"We love Haiti!"
A group of enthused middle schoolers with the YMCA Shelburne day camp site spent the day making handmade cards, "God's eyes", and other fun knick-knacks for the students of St. Marc's School in Cerca-la-Source. Virginia Haiti Collaborative leader Michelle Edwards came and spoke to the kids about Haiti and the Collaborative's mission in the country.
She spent time afterwards helping the kids translate their English greetings into Haitian Creole before they wrote their messages on their cards.
