The begining of a new experience - Gap Year

Well, today was finally the big day! The prevoius night I packed my things and try to sleep (impossible for me). The next day I went to the airport with my whole familly at 11 a.m. After saying goodbye to everyone I did the check in. I waited 10 minutes in the freeshop and get on board. In the instant my foot touch the plane, I felt different. Why? Because deep down, I knew that a new chapter of my life was about to begin. I had never felt this way before, the hapiness was overflowing of my body, tears of joy ran over my cheeks, I said to myself: THIS IS IT!

After a 6 hour flight from Montevideo to Port-au-Prince, I finally arrived at my new home forthe next year. When I was just about landing, I snif a different smell, a smell that a inever sensed before, it was the smell of oporunities!
I saw the city from the sky and had a good hunch. I thought, "this is the right place and the right time to do something worthwile, my little grain of sand"

I took of the airport and went straigh to my new apartement, located on the middle of the city, that I rented for the next year. I knew it is not a big place but i thought, "the marvel of this country is outside, in the streets, in the people, not in a luxurious flat next to the traslucide water". I have to admit that in the other hand, i didn't have a lot of money to spend!

Even if Haiti is a beautiful place to spend the holidays, i'm here for a more important reason. Help the childs in africa, anda every person on the country to finish with the ileteracy on the country. Today the amount of people who can't read or write is 22%. If just one person in this huge group learn, my mision will be complete. Because I know i can't reduce this amount to 0%, but if everyone like my teach one children how to write and read, I know we can!
