Our young Felician Artists in Haiti are now trying to sell their artwork of placemats, napkin holders, coasters and server trays. The other day, we took them to the Cyvadier Hotel in Jacmel, and they did their first sales pitch! And guess what? The hotel wants their work! They will use all these items in their restaurant and hotel. To say the least, our young artists were ecstatic! After the meeting, we bought soda and juice to celebrate!
Now that school is in session, our kids use our newly-prepared room for study and homework. This is so helpful for them since most of them do not have electricity in their homes.
Keeping our environment clean and our area beautiful is important in the Franciscan tradition. We try to share these values with our young people. Our kids know that this is very important. The other day, it was a community effort to make a space for our garbage. As always in Haiti, when there is work going on, some do the work and others watch.
