Kite Flying!

Easter time in Haiti means kite flying! The people here at Coram Deo made their own kites, using the smaller bamboo branches growing in our yard. Bamboo is light, strong, and flexible. From the youngest to the oldest everyone took part in flying the home-made kites. The symbol of the kite here in Haiti is to look up because Christ is risen. It is a sign to people that when they look up to their flying kite they are looking up into the heavens :)
