Center of Hope

Tonight I catered a dinner celebrating a new orphanage in Haiti. The Center of Hope - check them out, if you are passing by and looking for an excuse for your heart to grow two sizes, you can donate.

With all the trauma Haiti has gone through, there may be more headed their way....

Tonight, we had a high school gospel choir sing. It was - as you'd expect - moving to hear those sweet voices sing at this particular event.

On a side note, the Haitians I served were so much more polite than the people I'm used to serving (drunken spoiled brats???). They thanked me for everything I did, and even handed me their plates themselves to clear. I don't mean to judge an entire nation based on that - or claim to be more enlightened than you are - or belittle anyone.

They just made me feel good.

I want to be more like that.
