Now is the time of year when America's roads are filled with the iconic yellow bus and the careful driver slows to a snail's pace in the neighborhood of a school.
When we were in Port-au-Prince last May, we noted neatly uniformed students on their way to school. Their "school buses" of choice seemed to be the "tap taps"
those gaily painted buses or pick-up trucks that serve as share taxis in Haiti. Tap tap literally means "quick quick". But, they don't leave until they are full of passengers, so they may not be so quick to get a student to school.
Some school transport looks much like open bed trucks. Hold on tight!
Classrooms are filled to overflowing with students in the elementary grades.
Some things are universal! Eager students are the joy of their teachers, everywhere!
Oh, I can just see you now in the midst of all this new environment. I am eagerly anticipating the posts you will make from there. May God continue to pour out abundant confirmations and blessings as you continue your preparations.
