Mikalange and her sister Mika are twins. They are both in 7th grade, but they are a world of personalities apart. You can see the eyes of Mikalange, they have “mischief” in them! Ha! She is always up to something and never “shy!” Mikalange loves music, and would you believe, she is learning the drums! She loves...
There are always strange things that happen in Haiti that don’t usually happen in the states. Take yesterday, for instance... Bobby and I looked forward to a “quiet Sunday.” When in the late morning, our “front gate” security guard came up pounding on my door. (I had cut off my radio communication to get some...
