We had a great drive today from Pignon to Cap-Haitien! Although only 39 miles, it took us more than 2 hours to cover the distance. The roads were in pretty rough shape for much of the way. We'll try and post some pics later.
Tonight we met with Justin Metelus, the Director of the Ministry of National Education for the north of Haiti. He is planning our time working with the university and the high school. We then had dinner with Andre, he director of the Sacred Heart Centre in Cap. We will be doing some work at their nutrition centre and pre-school.
We had a great time in Pignon and are now excited about what this week holds.
More to come!
"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
