Catching Up on Sleep
From October 29, 2018
While I really enjoy my work in Haiti, I also realize that I am completely unqualified to do it. On this last 17-day trip, I lost my patience many times. On Friday night (my last night before traveling back to Florida on Saturday) I was confronted with news that the ladies who work overnight in the girl’s and toddler quarters had enough of Bency. I was told that she will not listen to any of the staff, not even to Dadi, the night supervisor. She refuses to go to bed. She sometimes hides with the intention of later scaring the younger kids by pretending to be a zombie.
