Kindergarten Graduation

In Haiti few things are as important as graduation from kindergarten. It seems a bit strange to an American that it’s such a big deal. But to a people who rarely get go to school it means a lot to see their children complete kindergarten. Some of the Americans that were here fixed up the school building with a stage and traps for a roof. The older orphan girls put on dance numbers and skits. It was very, very Haitian. The kids who graduated had to speak, sing, dance and take a pledge that they would stay in school and help Haiti become a better nation.
