'Yon Ti Mache' (a little walk)


On days when i get caught up with work in the office and nobody needs assistance with anything in particular, i get to hang out with the kids and volunteers. This afternoon was like that, and i had the opportunity to take a walk with a couple of the girls and their kids. I got one of the little boys who was mine when i volunteered in the fall :-) he's a character, and it was fun to have him out! 


This little guy was in awe of everything he saw! He would walk for a short distance, then some sound or sight would distract him, and he's stop to inspect it. he took in the trees, a chicken and her chicks, a 'machine' (car) ect. in great detail! it was fun to see his reaction to the world outside the gate!


While walking down a dirt road, we came across a ti kabrit (goat). As i expected, my little walking partner stopped to check it out. But unlike what i expected, he started to walk closer to it, showing little fear! The goat backed away from him. However, it came forward when i held out my hand for it to sniff. i wanted this little guy to be able to touch the goat, but they got too close for comfort, and the goat backed away again :-( 




So, although this little guy didn't get to feel the soft whiskers of the little goat brushing against his fingers, he did pretty much get eye to eye with one! 

p.s. Thanks to Amy for capturing these moments on camera!
