A month later

Close followers may have noticed that I haven’t blogged in a while.

Things stopped feeling new, which is probably a good thing.

A very short personal/school/Haiti summary:

- Election fiasco is not over yet. The international committee in charge of the recount finished its job, but the president didn’t get it yet because he’s refusing a meeting. Rumors are their recount puts the president backed candidate 3^rd which excludes him from the second round of election. When the government announces it will accept or when it rejects the conclusions we will probably have a few more days of unrest in the country.

- The person in charge of the pedagogic aspects of the school was replaced with one that will hopefully be much more involved in giving guidance to the teachers and directors. We already had a 2 day seminar as a first very positive step for this change.

- I spent 10 days in Israel meeting loved ones. Had a wonderful visit, recharged my batteries and got a new appreciation of things that I used to take for granted like: proper roads, electricity, water systems and in general having a functional state. Got a new appreciation for family and friends, but that I never took for granted…

The Xmas party at the school was a little strange. Mostly composed of dancing that would be considered totally inappropriate for a school environment in most places of the world. But – People seemed to enjoy themselves and the contribution for extra food we got for this day.
