25th October
By all accounts it appears all the rain we had here in Jean Rabel last week was in fact due to hurricane Nicole we just didn’t have any wind along with it so the damage it caused was much less than that of hurricane Matthew. However having cleared up over the weekend, here we are again this morning unable to go to school as the river is once more too high to cross.
In fact we were pleasantly surprised to be able to make it there yesterday and get back on track, but one day does not a huge change make as this morning dawned bright but with very heavy rain. It’s difficult to make educational progress under these circumstances. But tomorrow is another day and we become more like the Haitian’s every day – they tend to go with the flow of the weather, do what they can and never give up hope of a better tomorrow.
