Haitian Kreyol Class

For those of you who wondered why I dropped off the face of the earth recently, I took a three week Haitian Kreyol course that was great but exhausting. I left the house by 7:30 AM, went to work, left work to go to class, and didn't get home until 10 PM.... talk about a looooong day. But I learned an amazing amount, met some great people, and I hope to do it again next summer.

Here are a few highlights from our last day of class were the students all presented skits to show what they learned.

Sheila and I did a skit about going to the dentist. Sheila is a dental student at Tufts and wanted to learn Haitian in order to speak with a number of the immigrants who visit the dental school.


Some more student presentations.










Dancing, of course. This is Sister Maria and one of the professors.
