“Foubi!” It’s the Haitian Creole word for “scrub!”

It doesn’t mean “just pass the mop” and add a little “Mr. Clean” to the water, but it means “scrub hard!”

When it comes to “scrubbing hard,” our Haitian kids know how to do this! It requires a lot of water and suds, mops, lots of bare feet, and plenty of music!

It turns into “roller skating” without skate shoes!

There is always loud music and plenty of “those in charge” (older brothers and sisters), but they get the job done! When Haitian kids work, they usually do a good job!

There was “lots of water” on the steps that lead outside, so they directed Bobby and me to go completely out the other side! (Both Bobby and I have broken backs and bones from the slippery, wet floors, so we are very careful!)

We love our own children and grandchildren, and we love these children who have been abandoned, some of whom were left at our gates! Our own children love the children, love the Haitian children!

OK, I have to get back and check on the “foubi” job!
