Hey everybody. Today I , Hannah , decided to blog. The past 6 weeks have been a blast! I've been playing outside a lot and with the Bundys , who are our neighbors. They have 4 children ( 3 girls and 1 boy). Brianna is 12, Jake is 11, Alanna is 9, and Kristina is 6. We play a lot of things outside like sardines ( Which is like hide-and-go-seek but one person hides and everyone else goes and seeks ) and other fun games in the dark. We even walk up trees!
Here's Brianna running up the tree:
I even got a chance to get my hair done Haitian- style!
Today we skyped with Mrs. Prestel's class at Southside Elementary in Indiana, my old school.
I got to see my friend Katrina and some other kids from my classes last year. We are thinking about doing a community service project between our two schools. We might also do pen pals which I think would be really fun. I hope we do pen pals because I really want to get in touch with my old friends.
A few months ago, my classmates in Indiana at Southside Elementary and the whole school helped raise money for The Potter's House, an orphanage in Haiti. We raised $499.18.
This is my thank you to my school and all my classmates who helped put the fundraiser together and who gave so generously.
I've got some exciting news about how that money is going to help the orphans. Jane Dennington, who found out about the orphanage last November and took me there when I visited Haiti this past February, told me that the money could be used for the kids to have lunch at their school. They haven't been able to afford to take lunch to their school. Each day they would sit hungry while other students ate lunch.
We raised enough money for each orphan to have a nice lunch with a peanut butter sandwich every school day for this entire school year!
Again, thank you to all my classmates!
