Song

The kids from goat camp wrote a song for me. It's things like this that make all the bad days worthwhile. It was written by 4 boys who are between 8 and 12 years old. I tried to translate in context. They are going to sing it tonight - I teared up when I made the copies. I can't cry when they sing or they will think I don't like it.

Gen yon blan ki sot lot bo ki renmen peyi Ayiti ki rele dokte Kelli. Blan sa se Bondye ki voye li ann Ayiti. Paske se yon blan ki fidel avec Bondye an nou di mesi, an nou di mesi, mesi, mesi pou dokte Kelli (3 fwa) an nou priye, priye, priye, priye pou dokte Kelli (3fwa) dokte Kelli se yon blan nou renmen anpil, anpil paske se li ap ede nou. An nou di mesi.

There is a foreigner who came from the States who loves the country of Haiti who is called Dr. Kelly. This foreigner was sent by God to Haiti. Because this foreigner is faithful with God, let's say thank you. Let's say thank you, thank you, thank you for Dr. Kelly (3 times). Let's pray; pray, pray, pray for Dr. Kelly (3 times) Dr Kelly is a foreigner we love a lot, a lot because she is helping us. Let's say thank you.
