Hello Haiti! We arrived in Haiti a very tired bunch from a long flight and travel.  We got a little culture in before we went to sleep.  This morning we woke around 7:30 and had a wonderfully prepared Haitian breakfast.  We then headed off to our first day of work at a school in the village.  There we emptied a storeroom of its books and cleaned it out thoroughly.  Then we sanded and painted the room.  We are set to build and put in new bookshelves in the next few days.  We also had a great time interacting with the Haitian school children.  We saw many interesting sights including a place called the chakune, which is a learning center for the Haitian children where they congregate and sing and dance and learn. …tomorrow we work again at the school - more good times to come J   Sean
