Na wè pita, Ayiti !

Today is our last day in Haiti. The past 11 days have been a memorable experience that we cannot wait to share with all the VHP members in Poughkeepsie. After a 7-hour drive and countless stops at the gas stations, we finally returned to the historic Hotel Oloffson from Cap Haitien. It was a very cheerful night with live music, dancing, and sharing stories.
The party continued into the morning… a packing party. We bought many beautiful handicrafts and paintings from Port-au-Prince and Cap Haitien for the upcoming annual April’s Haitian Art Sale and Auction at Vassar College. Opening the boxes of paintings and handicrafts felt like opening Christmas presents. We also finally got a tiny taste of delicious Haitian mangoes for breakfast. This is the perfect ending to our time in Haiti. We know that we will return to Haiti and to Chermaitre very soon. Until then, we will bring Haitian happiness back to wintry New York.
Love,
Mai, Robyn, Priscilla, Ning, Tamsin, Lorraine, Annie, Carrie, Manny, Sida, Lila and Andrew
Wow, from an observers point of view, it seemed to pass so quickly! Hope you do a round-up of your experiences in Haiti :-)
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!
