:: Haiti 2.0 Day Six ::
LES CAYES, HAITI — They strolled in two-by-two, dancing a two-step as the crowd awaited their arrival.
About 12 students, 8 of them Global Family Philanthropy children, from the elementary school GFP sponsors graduated from their particular grades today.
A grapefruit-pink graduation gown draped over their formal clothes — white button-down shirt and black slacks for the boys; a church-going dress for the girls — and a neon green graduation cap covered their little, brilliant heads.
Yes, the cuteness level was ridiculously high.
The graduation ceremony put that level through the roof and into the stratosphere, there was lots and lots of awesome dancing, singing, two comedic skits, interviews with the children and lots and lots of awesome dancing.
Though the graduation ceremony was longer than a Lord of the Rings trilogy marathon, we couldn’t help but smile throughout. Did we mention there was a lot of dancing?
We are fortunate to see these kids grow. To see them get an education, something every child no matter where they are from should receive. To see them develop into the men and women they will become.
Their future, as well as Haiti’s future, is theirs to mold.
But for now, the agenda is to be children and dance the night away.
