Our
third day in Haiti was a very busy one. We arrived in Fondoux, a small
town outside Petit Goave. We had a community of Haitians waiting, eager
to spend time with us.
I was greeted by a sea of shy beautiful faces, children, who were waiting to
see what was in my bags! I started them out with a rousing song, sung in
parts to see which group could out sing the other! It was quite the
success!
I taught them a few new songs including ‘Kum Bah Ya and ‘Deep and Wide’ with my
talented and gifted translator and friend, Rodny. I also had a wonderfully
talented CHE Leader as a partner, Frantzy, and with his guitar and the rhythm
instruments I had brought we had a wonderful day of sharing music together. At
the end of the day we made crosses out of multi colored yarn and sticks while
singing ‘ Jesus loves the little children.. all the children of the world…
red and yellow, black and white… it seemed like the perfect ending to a God –
filled day!
