We ended the class with a fun girls only dance party - and let me tell you - those girls can dance! We also had a fun game of Stella Ella Hola - I taught the girls this game last summer, and they LOVE it. Generally, the girls love any kind of hand clapping game, but it is funny because they just slur all of the English words of the song together.
After a heart wrenching goodbye with a ton of hugs, and too many tears for me to handle, all of the girls left.
We stayed at the club for the rest of the afternoon sorting through our suitcases full of supplies. Things like sheets, towels, clothing, shoes, toiletries, candles, all stuff that we were saving for our emergency relief fund. We sorted it into bags with a bit of everything in each package and we will be flying it over within the next few days. With the donations that DOVE has raised so far, we were able to buy some medical supplies. Our good friend Jorge, who owns a pharmacy matched what we bought in supplies from him as donation. We will also be flying this over ASAP.
DOVE is still accepting donations. This relief effort is not going to be a one time thing. It will be a long journey for Haiti.
