Playground

The visitors have been working hard and the playground is coming along quite nicely. Today they went to check out Baptist Mission and Fort Jacque. I decided not to go b/c I'm going to Jenny's again. The visitors are great and I'm enjoying my time with them but it's still nice to get away for a bit. There's lots of time to talk with them, they're here for another week. They collected a lot of donations before they came and it's great to see them pass out the stuff to the kids and the guys.
So yesterday we had another scare. Two American kids were kidnapped right near our house. (On Delmas 31 for people familiar with Coram Deo) A mother was driving with her two children when the kidnappers got in the car and told her to get out. We dont' know much more. Please pray that they will be returned to their mother soon without any harm. I was quite shaken up because I walk in this area a lot. (of course I'm always with a Haitian but what can they do if there's a gun to my head?) It's so hard to decide what to do. I feel safe here but I tend to think I'm invincible and no one will hurt me.
Next week we have two holidays. Tuesday and Wendesday there is no school due to All Saints day and All Souls Day. One is a Christian holiday and one is a Voodoo holiday but both are honoured by the Haitian government. It'll be nice to have two days off to get some odd jobs done around here.
I have added some new pictures to my photo album so if you're interested you can check them out.
