In the chaos that is mealtime in the Haitian orphanage, her plate is kept neat and orderly, and heaven help the person that tries to assist her by loosening her rice. (That would be me...)
Many people have expectations about those living in poverty- starving children should be happy to eat whatever they are given in any way, shape, or form- but even in the direst of situations human personality and preferences emerge. From scraping cheese off of crackers, to not wanting melted chocolate on fingers, to systematically eating a plate of rice one laborious spoonful at a time.........
Janna, all of your pictures are so amazing!! What an incredible experience to go to Haiti and do good. I am so jealous! I LOVE the pics of you and your roomie, you are right she is gorgeous and her sweet personality shines through!
