This Monday schools are to open all over Haiti. Yet, there is much talk of trouble during the first week of school which is a common occurrence in Haiti. Those groups who want to protest to the government about something, always do it on the first day of school. Often the schools are unable to open on time because of this.
Our Bible School is to open this Saturday. We presently have over 40 students registered for the first year class, and expect more. We usually leave registration open during the first couple weeks of school to allow the stragglers in.
Haitians are late about doing most things. A big frustration for many foreigners here is how everything moves so slow and everyone is late to everything. Typically church services and other kinds of meetings start 30 minutes late. Weddings start normally an hour late. One thing there always on time for an even early for is a handout or a good deal.
