Haiti Team 2: Haitians Thrive in Learning Music and Drama
July 27th, 2009
Team 2 spent the week teaching and training 75 kids in music and drama. The morning camp consisted of 4 rotations, inlcuding Music Theory, Basic Instrumentation, Marching Band Formation, and Drama. In the afternoons Maria Lazo was a folk dance teacher for many years so she taught Israeli dances that come straight from the Bible – folk dances that worship God through movement.
On Friday night, they held a performance to show off all of their hard work that week which also served as a great outreach to the community. It was a great time as the campers were able to show all they had learned and accomplished during the week. The Fan Fan (marching band) played 2 songs Jeff had taught them during the week. Maria, Eve, Dorina and a group of girls performed 2 Israeli folk dances. Marching formations were shown off by Doug’s group, who won the marching competition. At the end of the night, one of the teams shared a Christian drama they learned from the Pusey’s. At the end of the drama, JonJon, their translator, gave a mini-sermon unpacking the drama and giving an invitation to the audience to accept Christ.
Trying to come back to the States proved to be difficult, but after a long stay in the airport and an extra night in Port Au Prince, Team 2 has made it back safe and sound.
