While visiting Okap (Cap Haitien) Nathan and I worked with a nonprofit organization called Meds for Kids. It's St. Louis-based and creates a thereauputic peanut butter (In Creole, medika mamba) for severely malnourished children.
One of the days we traveled to peanut fields and learned about varieties of peanuts. We also helped irrigate a farmer's field, and two brothers followed us to watch. The boys would carry hoses or rope, get tired, and then run around in circles, eventually sitting down to keep an eye on us.
The older brother caught a butterfly, and suddenly something was far more amusing than us.
Ok, it might have been a moth, but it was the prettiest moth I've ever seen.
