I've been living in Haiti for about a year now.  I've decided to start sharing some of my experiences with you all via this site.  So, here it goes.  My first blog entry...

I recently started volunteering at Sean Penn's camp.  There's a K - 6th grade school located within the camp, so I've decided to teach the kids some English by using songs.  We're also working on writing a song together.  They give me their ideas in French or Haitian Creole and I translate them into English and work with them to put the words and music together.  We did the brainstorming portion today and we'll work on putting the songs to music next week.  Above is a short video clip of the 5th grade kids singing!  I've also included two pictures below that I took while walking down to the camp area.
