10 children show up to my English class offered for 2 hours a day for next two weeks while I’m still in Jacmel. Their attendance is voluntary. I finally get to use all the books we brought them. We review conversation and greetings again. We review colors. I start developing their vocabulary. We look at a picture of bunnies in a cottage. They learn new words. We then do a picture of a neighborhood on a hill. One of the older boys, M, my TA takes over while I travel for a few days. The first day he told me in English class on his paper he wanted to be an English teacher. I told him let’s go. I tell him he’s a better English teacher than me.
Sustainability and consistency are integral here but rarely found. I pray whoever comes will continue to teach English and work with the boys and all children who really want to learn from the school. I hope God answers my prayer. I am calm, I know he will. He always does. God's plan is perfect, it is us, we are imperfect in our understanding of it.
