If Haitian Happiness is what I think it is…then I hope it doesn’t last too long! If it’s not what I think it is…then I hope it lasts forever! :)) Happy everyone is back and safe!

Wow, from an observers point of view, it seemed to pass so quickly! Hope you do a round-up of your experiences in Haiti :-)

Greetings. Any chance you can email me the great photo you posted of students visiting with the artist? If so, send it in as high resolution as possible, for potential use on the Vassar website.

Keep up the great blogging (and say hi Lila and Andrew for me)

So jealous you met Desarmes! That is fantastic.

You’re all in the thoughts as you make the trek to Gros Morne!

Wonderful trip with lovely trippers. Should be sweet memories with different culture. It is life, different person has different lives.

Wow! Amazing that you made the plane, but obstacles are meant to be conquered!!! Double elation, I am sure, at reuniting at the airport. The Oloffson sounds like a wonderful venue from which to immerse yourselves in the sights and sounds of Haiti. Rest up. take in everything – lots of pics from PaP, please, and remember the art of the shpiel – how all those sights, sounds and even smells are interpreted onto the canvas in the beautiful artwork you will see and bring back!! Safe journey! Love to all!!

I congratulate you on your devotion to a noble cause. You are bringing spring, hope to the people of Haiti, and I am sure they will be deeply grateful to you. Have a nice trip and may God bless you all.

Hi all you wonderful trippers!! You look so ready; I know it is going to be an incredible experience for all of you. Even if you have been to Haiti once before or to Chermaitre once before, each time is completely new. I wish so much that I were on this trip with you; I cannot believe I am not there spraying clothes and accidentally one another with permethrin! Okay, so a few words of Mama C wisdom for your trip. Make sure to take your malarone at the same time everyday,, and don’t forget to deet up before you leave your comfy mosquito net. Wear sunscreen. Drink lots of water. Do not secretly wish the rooster would stop shrieking in the middle of the night…….(it will), Make sure to have two bottles of h20 for the climb up – one for you and one for whoever is accompanying you. Enjoy the stars at night – you will never have seen so many in your life before. And mostly, Do, BE, and laugh lots!
And give Chermaitre my love!
Love to all of you
