Emilien's first day of work

   Last week we went to visit one of Bill's friends Stefan, who owns a furniture/carpentry company here in Haiti named Maxima S.A..  A lot more of the discussion I'll write about in due time, but one thing that came out of it was an opportunity for at least one of our Transition Program boys to get a paid internship there.

   Today was Emilien's first day, and I thought I'd share what the supervisor there wrote us afterward:

     "Emilien did well today. His co-workers commented that he knew how to use a hand sander. Not something everyone off of the street knows. A few times when walking through the shop I saw him talking to his co-workers and he seemed comfortable. At the end of the day when the buzzer went off he stayed to help pick up tools without being asked, that's a big positive!

I asked him if he was coming back tomorrow and with a smile on his face he said "yes"!

     Overall a good first impression. Thanks for the work you are doing with these guys."

     Dropping Emilien off at work (he'll take a taptap from here on out) and praying for him and wishing him well kind of felt like i'd imagine it would feel like sending my own child to school.  Dripping with a little bit of pride and excitement, I was overjoyed to receive news that his day was so amazing!
