Mesay, we’re not in Haiti anymore!



I haven’t posted an update lately since I am back in the US, with one of the orphan kittens I raised.  I brought Mesay back, and she saw her first snow in PA.  And now we are back in Kansas (where we’ve had wind, rain, snow, ice, 73F weather, 0F weather, tornado possibility, all in a span of 2 days!).  I am still involved with AUC, and will return in May with the goal of taking students to a nearby lake for a field study.  So I am still looking for support and supplies for teaching ecology in Haiti.  Contact me if you’d like to help with education in Haiti!
