[Deutsch unten] 29 November, 11:00am This week seemed to pass by in a blur. On Monday morning I gave our one newbie, Michelle, a little tour of Jacmel – starting with the bank, where we waited for a couple of long hours in the airconditioned room with armed guards striding around. The afternoon, just as [...]

Ethan and his guitar turned out to be huge hits at Mother Theresa’s, both with children and adults, and there was lots of music around [...]
