Ti Bou

I want to share this story with you that I forgot to share yesterday about the BBC radio interview. These two girls that live at the orphanage about 8, and 9 years old talked on the radio and told what they thought about the earthquake and what they felt when it happened. It brought tears to my eyes both girls said they sang a song that made them feel better. They sang the songs in creole and it brought tears to my eyes. I had to fight them off so I didnt start blubbering like a baby in front of all the people. It was very touching. So you're probably wondering what ti bou means and it means give me a kiss in creole.
Learned that tonight when before we went back to our house for the night me and Britt did a night time visit to the nursery and hung out with the kids. They were crazy tonight L (I cant use full names) was in his crib pulling my hair out which was already falling out from not showering and then everyone else was trying to get some loving. They dont like to share me haha they all fight for my attention which is hard because I want to give them all the attention at the same time but that doesnt happen so well. M likes to say I love you so cute I will have to record it for you. So they're all in their pjs and we had to say goodnight (bon nuit) and give them kisses. We headed back pretty early tongiht about 6:30. It gets dark at about 6:00 here 7:00 our time.

Earlier today at about 9:00 headed up to Fort Jaques today with Colleen, Britt, Stella, Dave, Margaret, and Robyn to do some more sorting and organizing of supplies and to make hygiene kits to give out for distribution. Britt closed zip lock bags, Colleen folded the washclothes and put them in the bags and the rest of us filled the bags with things like shampoo, tooth brushes, toothpaste, deodarant etc. We made about 100 bags, pictures to come later(they take forever to load here) Lots of hard work but a lot of fun! Came back about 4:00 had mystery meat sandwiches for lunch at Fort Jaques which I was not too fond of but its food. Supper was shrimp and rice and salad mhhmm did I mention how good the pop is here I'm not a big pop drinker but its made with real sugar and not as carbonated as back home.

Had a nice talk with some of the volunteers tonight its so neat to talk to people with different views, beliefs and religions. I love listening to other peoples views on things and having little debates. One thing that was brought up was about bible study last night and how the pastor had talked about how a girl who is pretty much his daughter had sex out of marriage with a boy and how he pretty much scared the crap out of the boy but forgave his "daughter" right away which didn't make sense because he had said earlier its not our right to condemn people but it takes two people to have sex so he forgave the daughter but scared the boy didn't much make sense to us. We believe his "dad-like" emotions came out when he was talking and really confused a lot of people. Pretty much contradicted what he had said first. Thought I would share that with you.

Well tomorrow is going to be a busy day the pest control people are coming to spray for the cockroaches so everyone cant be downstairs for 4 hours so everyone is going to be on the balcony kids, staff, volunteers etc should be a fun, loud, interesting day. Most of the volunteers are headed up to Fort Jaques again but me and Britt, Robyn and Margaret got assigned to stay behind. I've been at Fort Jaques for the last couple of days so it will be nice for a change. Lots of baby loving tomorrow! Talk tomorrow!
