Appetizer

As you await a longer more intellectually stimulating blog, here is an appetizer of pictures from the last few weeks. Enjoy!


All ready for Feast!













First morning of the Fast (period of 19 days when Baha'is abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset - means eating very early in the morning!)





Den and Dee after Mardi Gras - second to last day of a month long Carnaval when everyone covers themselves in oil and attacks anyone who is clean; you also get attacked with flour (in case you hadn't noticed)




The most beautiful children's class! There are now Saramaka and Ameridian children in the class, a combination that it not seen elsewhere. It is so moving to see that this class has given them the opportunity to be together in a friendly and spiritual environment and hopefully will create a small step towards eliminating the prejudices that exist between these people.




Wonderful, adorable Stephane, who, although would not approach me during our first class, now runs and throws himself into my arms as soon as I step out of the car.












Stephane's beautiful sister, Natasha, who at the age of four has memorized more quotations and prayers than most 8 year olds in the class


















"Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom." - Baha'u'llah

"Every child is potentially the light of the world - and at the same time its darkness; wherefore must the question of education be accounted as of primary importance. - Abdu'l-Baha
