The Final Countdown

Bonjou!  As I type, I should be preparing my stuff for Haiti.  I will be heading out in exactly one week to spend my summer serving where God has called me in Barasa and Gros Morne, Haiti.  I will be there for two and a half months. My first two weeks will be with the Haiti Connection checking up on our projects.  After they abandon me to return to the US, I will spend the remainder of my time gearing up for and helping to put on Kan Klaudine, a summer camp for children in the area of Gros Morne.

I'm getting super excited for the trip.  I've been anticipating this...well...pretty much since the day I got back last year.  With only one week to go, to say I'm stoked is a bit of an understatement.  I've got Paul Farmer's The Uses of Haiti in my lap awaiting a little bit of educational time and my Haitian Creole Phrasebook is waiting to be cracked open as well.  So much to do in a very little amount of time.  Not to mention I still have family and friends to attend to.  It's been a crazy year and I can't believe I'm graduated but this is an exciting next step for me.

I will try to keep you all updated on my activities and such while I am in Haiti, but I'm not always the best at keeping up with technology.  I went ahead and typed up my journal entries from last year.  They are all listed below if you're interested in a bit of summer reading.

As they say in Haiti, N a we! (See you later!)
