..it's another. seriously.
our recent news came monday at about 1:55 p.m. sonlight is the only school in pdp that is in session right now. all the other schools are postponed until october 6 because of the "economy" with food prices soaring, etc. well, today the minister of education decided to come to sonlight and talk to carmen. he gave her the speech about the financial situation of the people and she said, "well, all of our students are being paid for, so it's fine." then, he said that wasn't really the reason, he was there because of all the hurricanes. so carmen said "well, all of our students are able to come to school...it didn't really affect them." and then he went into all these other reasons and excuses. basically, he was just mad that we were having school and we weren't doing what they wanted.
so, now, instead of having school everyday, we are having "tutoring" from 8-12. we will be tutoring ALL of our students in reading, math, spelling, etc. and be "testing and quizzing their knowledge." the students don't have to wear their uniforms because we aren't really "in school." so for the next 3 weeks, we will be out at noon.
seriously, where else but haiti would the minister of education tell you that the kids CAN'T come to school??? geez!!!
all i can say is that is completely obvious that good things are happening here in pdp or satan wouldn't be working so hard. keep praying for us.

Wow the Minister of Education has time to come to Sonlight? Has he/she ever come before? Maybe it's perceived these children are getting an education while so many are not...some residents could be jealous or offended. Strange indeed.
I am glad you are keeping a positive attitude. Keep up the good work girl!
