It’s a day off for our national staff. It’s a national holiday here in Haiti. As Americans living here in Haiti, we tend to take the major American Holidays off.
But, today, on their day off, there are 2 ladies working in the kitchen. They are preparing food for the team that arrives tomorrow from TX. No break for these ladies. No rest for the weary as we say. I have said it so many times already. There is no way I can describe the appreciation I have for the national staff. They work hard. They are dedicated. They come when they must. They leave when the job is done. They don’t complain. They are servants. They are a team.
Why am I crying? Not because I am sad. Not because I am happy. It’s because these ladies are cutting onions. The tears are rolling down my cheeks!
