Hurricane Felix passes over us

Despite all the news and hype about hurricane felix, our town went relatively unscathed. There was a lot of rain but no flooding. Some parts of Honduras, mainly the northern coast, got hit pretty badly. Yesterday we found out at 6 am (after having showered and dressed) that classes were cancelled. Last night the Honduran ministry of education officially cancelled today's classes but our director decided at 6 am this morning to have classes anyway. However, only 10 of my students showed up and 10 minutes after attempting to start class, classes were officially cancelled. My classroom was the only thing that really flooded, with a mini-river covering 3/4ths of the floor. I'm wishing I were sleeping in right now, but we have to stay anyways to do "work" in our classrooms. I don't have much to do since I caught up on grading and planning yesterday. Hopefully things will become normal again tomorrow.

- Emergency Ponchos - These provide warmth and shelter for your family.
Take a few of your child’s books to the store with
you and load up the pack, to see if it will be comfortable.
Tent camping is great for families with younger children because it's fun, inexpensive, and the right combination of being outdoors without being too far from those modern conveniences.
