Can you believe, we moved AGAIN! The new location just did not work out and we were forced to take a loss on our expenses that covered fixing up the new space and moving everything. It was frustrating but now that we have completed all the necessities for the new location, I have to say that it is going to be a much better place! It will be better because it will now be housed in an existing school. Now, even when most of us are not in Haiti, we always have a full-time staff at the library keeping the doors open. In the past, whenever Eric was not available, the library stayed closed. UPDATE: The location we moved out of will keep the rooms we fixed up available for us in case we need the space in the future! Yeah! |
The Eric and Kathy Morning Show
Kathy Hart from the popular Chicago Morning Show “Eric and Kathy at Q101.9 The Mix” donated her Martin & Co. acoustic guitar to Haiti Reads. This guitar will help us, or rather Gerald, teach guitar lessons to children who visit the Haiti Reads Library. Thank you, Kathy!
