Last week, as we were preparing for this trip, I realized that Edmond would be turning 81 while our team was here. So last night, Elisa made some cupcakes and this afternoon we went to visit Edmond. In Haiti, birthdays are not celebrated like they are in the US, so it didn't surprise me that Edmond had no idea what today was when I asked him. When I told him that it was May 13.......he realized that it was his birthday and our team broke out in song......the French version of Happy Birthday. He was so happy!
Love from Haiti, Sharon
