Seeds of change

Last week we held our very first vocational training program at the Center of Hope here in Haiti. Although it was packed with challenges (see below, IF you have the time :) the root of the fact is that an opportunity for lives to be changed AND impact others was made.
IYI is proud of and thankful to the teachers/trainers from Mosaic who taught experienced and wannabe teachers how to organoze a classroom, plan & prepare, ask better questions, improve communication & involvement from the students, and just how to further care about the overall welfare of their students. It was a training rooted on developing character & integrity, not just skills, for the 20+ participants.
We look forward to the next series of trainings for pastors, leaders, construction workers & other manufacturing vocational trainings as well as English language development.

--------the nitty-gritty of the conference-------
So, if you really wanna know, I learned more about the rules of shopping for 45 people on-site during the week, tried to oversee the preparation of meals, run any necessary tasks and, of course, almost get robbed in the process (another story ;)
It was great. Definitely tiring. Very rewarding. I'm excited for the future!
