One day we visited a ‘school’ in Bohoc. In Haiti, one of the biggest issues is education….or lack thereof. School is a luxury available only to the wealthy. By wealthy…the cost is only $100 a YEAR yet most cannot afford that. There are jobs in Haiti, yet most do not have the skills to perform due to the lack of education….and I don’t mean college…this is for our equivalent of elementary and high school…they do not even have that level of education. I had never realized how PRIVILEGED of a life I have led. I detested most days in school where here they would do just about anything to have that luxury. I found myself having many thoughts about how much I had taken for granted. Simple things like grass, flowers…the sounds of birds chirping but then larger things like electricity, clean running water, education, police, hospitals, medicine to take when you are sick, having a refrigerator full of nutritious food and this list could go on for days =)
My Journey to Kahuria
May 1, 2024
I’ve always asked “Why is Kenya so different?” “What makes it so special?”
Being a part of a Global Missions team, I have had the opportunity to help send teams to Kenya but never experience it myself. The teams always came back bonded and something was different.
