Snow Day here in Haiti! Not because of snow but because of a gas strike. Burning tires, rocks being thrown instead of snow balls at vehicles trying to travel down some of the main roads. A couple of our teachers couldn't make it to work this morning because of the strike. Pray for peace on the streets.
