Kite Making Fun!

In Haiti, March is the windy month and a time when kids love to make kites. So as a Church Advancement staff we decided to have kite workshops in each of the villages, for the kids throughout this month.  In order to meet Mission of Hope’s core resolution of indigenous mobilization we wanted the workshops to be Haitian run. To do this we asked local community leaders in the church, a kids club, or the like to lead the workshops and teach the kids how to make kites. To make the workshops possible we asked some North American teams to bring the supplies and help the kids in the workshops.

These workshops were such an amazing thing to be a part of! The kids loved making their own kites and were so proud of their own finished product! But as you can imagine it was a little chaotic with 100 kids in each workshop making kites, however it was such an amazing opportunity to get to witness local Haitian community leaders, lead the children in their community well. It was truly beautiful to see the leaders, translators, kids, and North Americans interact in such a beautiful way! It was yet another great tangible example of the way that God is working in this country!
