Thanksgiving Feast 

11/28/2013

I am thankful for this lollipop. Toni thought ahead and packed us each a pumpkin spice lollipop for thanksgiving. It tastes like fall. It makes me want to bundle up in a big sweater and decorate for the holiday season… but then I remember that it is 93 degrees outside and the thought of sweaters makes me nauseous. Though I woke up this morning wishing I were at home with my family, feasting and laughing, I realized how many more opportunities I will have to sit around a table with them chat over food and drinks. I will have fewer opportunities to spend the day learning creole with a traveling art team while savoring a pumpkin lollipop. So I seized the day. On our three hour drive back to Port-au-Prince, I asked our fixer how to say every thanksgiving related word or phrase I could think of. I am sure Toni and my mom were ready to pull their hair out after hearing me try to use the word “kodenn,” which means “turkey,” in a hundred different sentences. I am thankful to have such patient travel companions. I am thankful for this blistering hot Haitian sun. I am thankful to spend Thanksgiving Day in Haiti. I am thankful for this lollipop.

    Communication is art that we encourage. During each stop, the girls we meet form new relationships and want the opportunity to maintain them and make new ones. They want to be heard by a larger audience and they are eager to listen. The Mighty Girl’s Blog is a forum for girls who have Internet access from all parts of the world to log on and say what they want to say. For those who do not have regular access to Internet, but still desire to connect with girls outside their community, we help match them as pen pals through written letters. The Mighty Girl’s Blog is an open yet monitored forum for girls to connect and share with an interesting and interested group of people.
