Rankit Public School FAQ
Why Haiti and Why Now?
Haiti is, by all accounts, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world. The poor economic, health and educational systems combine to create circumstances that even the most determined individuals would have a hard time overcoming without outside assistance. The government had little money with which to make significant changes in these circumstances before 2010. With the devastating earthquake, hurricanes and the cholera outbreak, the need for this type of assistance is all the more necessary. This Partnership project was underway in 2008, before these disasters hit that have plagued Haiti in 2010. Now, the need is even greater, as many funds continue to be held up in the international community to rebuild the capital, and there is even less hope that it will reach the rural areas.
In 2003, a group of Rotary Clubs from District #5950 and #5960, plus some others, partnered with World Vision and Haiti Outreach with the goal of changing some of these circumstances in a sustainable way. The Safe Water Plus Project began to drill and repair 141 wells and build 1,200 latrines in the Central Plateau in Haiti, affecting 100,000 people or more.
Clean water literally saves lives, especially when medical care is expensive and not very available. Death rates in the targeted Haiti project area ranged as high as 23% for children under the age of five, mostly from contaminated water. As of 2009, 100 wells have been drilled or repaired and 958 latrines have been built. More clean water wells are being drilled and planned.
It's true that, without clean water, it is essentially impossible to lift Haiti out of its poverty. But the ultimate goal of the creators of Safe Water Plus in Haiti has always been much more than drilling wells to improve drinking water conditions. That was just a beginning. It has been to take this impoverished country and help it to develop in as many ways as possible – in ways that would make a lasting and significant difference. As many Rotarians have made volunteer trips to the area to see the unbelievable conditions, and worked to build homes and school desks for students, they have seen first hand the need to do more.
The broader goal is to target resources and energy to help the people of Haiti 'springboard' forward and make significant progress in areas of water, health, and ultimately economic opportunity and growth. But if the children do not get a good education, none of that will occur for this generation or the next. In the spirit of trying to move forward to the next level, and in keeping with doing 'substantial things' that make a sustainable difference, the La Victoire Public Secondary School building project was created. That school has now been built, and we want to do more and build another school. Rankit is the next town that we selected that has no public secondary school.
What are the schools like in Haiti and why is there such a need?
There are schools available for only 62% of the elementary school students and only 18% of the secondary school students. And of those, only about 10% are public – the rest are private. It costs approximately about $8 USD per year to send a child to public school in Haiti, compared to $50-$300 USD or more per child for private school. Most of the people cannot afford that private school tuition. The government has little resources for building schools, especially secondary schools.
Where are the schools needed?
While they are needed all over Haiti, they are very scarce in the Central Plateau region of Haiti, where Rotary is actively engaged in the Safe Water Plus projects. Because of this activity and familiarity, community leaders have sought assistance from Haiti Outreach and Rotary in getting schools built. The secondary school population of this region is around 90,000 children. Today there are only 4 public secondary schools serving these students. As you can see, public secondary schools are in short supply and thus in great demand.
If the Haitian Government can't afford to build the schools, then who will maintain and staff them once built?
The Haitian Government has promised to staff, supply and operate any schools built, as well as provide ongoing maintenance of the school buildings. This scenario has already been implemented in this area very successfully. So far they have kept their agreements to make the schools work.
Who would manage the project, perform the construction and ensure a successful outcome?
Haiti Outreach's mission is to collaborate with the people of Haiti to build and maintain community-initiated projects that advance their development. They have been on the ground in Haiti for over 13 years doing just that. Besides their clean water projects, Haiti Outreach is building public schools to allow those who cannot afford private school tuition to get a true education – which is crucial to personal and national development.
Haiti Outreach has built three public schools that already serve over 1,700 students per year in the Central Plateau region. These construction projects are also planned, designed and managed by Haiti Outreach in partnership with a consortium of interested Rotary Clubs. The actual construction would be contracted to local firms with whom Haiti Outreach has years of successful experience and relationships.
Why was Rankit selected as the location?
The town of Rankit is only about 10 miles from La Victoire and Pignon, two towns that now have public secondary schools. They have asked Haiti Outreach to build a public secondary school in their community. While the need for these schools is all over the country, Haiti Outreach is based in Pignon, making it much easier to manage such major projects to neighboring towns.
Rankit is a community where Haiti Outreach is already drilling and working on safe water projects. The greater town area has approximately 8,000 residents, yet the closest public secondary schools are too far to reasonably walk. Even if they were not, the road between the towns is very poor and most Haitians do not own vehicles so it is not practical for students to get to other towns.
How large will the school be?
It's expected that the design will be very similar to other schools already built by Haiti Outreach, which is quite simple and made of concrete and steel. The design calls for seven classrooms, each with a capacity of up to 60 students each (serving over 400 students in total), as well as an administrative office. The project would also include the desks and blackboards for the classrooms, a clean water well and latrine.
How much will it cost and what is the timeline for the project?
A consortium of Rotary clubs in Minnesota and Wisconsin, so far, are working to identify and raise the funds needed for this project. The cost of the project is expected to be approximately $200,000 USD. The school is targeted to be open in September of 2012, and the construction process will take roughly 5 months to complete. If the funds are raised by February of 2012, the school can be built and open on time for the start of the next school year. That gives us essentially just one year plus a little to raise all the money. That's why we need your Partnership!
In the past, the Government in Haiti has not always been very stable. What impact does this have on the proposed project?
The people of Haiti and the Haitian government know very well the importance of education for their children. A person with an education is highly respected there. Many parents, even in primitive, rural areas, work very hard to scrape together enough money for their child's tuition and school uniform. Even in the most unstable times, the government has done whatever it can to pay the teachers and administrators to keep the public schools open. There has never been any question by any faction or party that the education of their children has primary importance.

Stained Glass Windows in the Church
Over the years you will have noticed that the figures in the stained glass windows in the church have faded and in many cases only the outline of the figures remains. Furthermore on examination it has emerged that the lead holding the stained glass in place is in need of replacement.
Following a decision by the Parish Finance Committee to refurbish the stained glass and leaded windows in the sanctuary and family room, tenders were sought from nine stained glass studios to carry out the work.
Six tenders were submitted and after a detailed analysis and follow up on references, M/s Emerald Stained Glass has been appointed for the project.
It is expected to commence work in the next week or so and it is envisaged that the work will take about 16 weeks. We regret any inconvenience caused during this period but it is hoped that disruption will be minimal.
As the Parish Church is a listed building, we have consulted with the Heritage and Conservation Officer for Co. Meath. She has visited the church and we are committed to carrying out the work in line with the requirements of the repair and conservation of structures that are protected under the Planning and Development Act 2000.

Jacksonville police: 33 people shot, 7 killed in April
Witnesses, community members urged to make anonymous tips
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Thirty-three people were shot, seven of whom died, in Jacksonville in April, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
According to Channel 4 records, police have responded to 16 shootings in just the last 16 days. In addition, shots were fired at two police officers -- one of them hit in the arm by a bullet.
The recent rise in gun violence has both community group leaders and residents worried about the crime rate increasing even more in the summer.
A woman who only wants to be identified as Elise said she covered her 2-year-old child while about 30 shots were fired in Northwest Jacksonville Tuesday on Barnett Road.
It marked the 16th shooting since April 14 in the River City. Five of those were fatal.
"The generation we've got now, they got some hate in their heart," Elise said. "They don't have any money, they don't have an education and that's what you get."
Witnesses described Tuesday's shooting as an ambush, leaving one man dead and a woman injured. But like most of the cases, the witnesses aren't reporting what they saw to police, leaving the gunmen still capable of committing more crimes.
"The community is becoming so insensitive to what's going on, and we're just letting it control us instead of us standing up and fighting back," said Donald Foy, president of MAD DADS, Men Against Destruction Defending Against Drugs and Social Disorder.
Foy said the violence is out of control and he worries that the summer months may be even worse. He said the key is breaking the code of silence, something those in the community are hesitant to do.
Foy said he recognizes that Jacksonville police officers are doing everything they possibly can to bring the gunmen to justice with the resources they have, but without the willingness of witnesses to report what they saw by calling Crime Stoppers anonymously, Foy said neighborhoods are fighting a losing battle.
"We're putting ourselves in jeopardy with this because the shootings are happening on the corner and could hit anybody, the bullets could fly and hit one of your family members. But then what?" Foy said.
Foy said he believes the increase in violence is gang- and turf-related. Police said there is a common thing among many of them.
"Without any doubt, through our investigations we learned that so many of these shootings and murders are related to drugs," JSO Director Tom Hackney. "This is from street-level marijuana to larger cocaine -- a drug nexus is definitely there."

It happened!
I asked and I received.
Life granted me my little snow day wish!
I seriously cannot believe that this is actually happen just like a week after I put in my formal request for a snowday with the weather/newscaster/storm center gods. But it's true. And not only is it true, it's like hugely true. Apparently when aforementioned gods come through, they come through in a blizzard of record proportions kinda way. You won't catch me complaining.
So how did this all begin? Well, I went to work today and at 11am, my boss came in, cancelled classes for tomorrow and that was the end of that. Anti-climatic right? No storm center theme music. No newspeople in sweaters. No 6am wake up call. But again, you really will not catch me complaining because I am so super excited.
But wait, it gets better. Not only do I get a snow day, but I also get a whole entire day with my husband! My snow day just happens to fall on a Wednesday which happens to be my husband's day off which means we get to spend a full day together where neither of us works which hasn't happened since Christmas eve. So you can certainly understand my excitement.
This day will most likely include all of the following, but perhaps not in this order:
1) Cinnamon buns (speaking of which, last week at Corner Bakery, I asked for a cinnamon bun and the guy looked at me like I was certifiably nuts and then said, "You mean a cinnamon roll?" Uhh yeah, I guess I do if you are unwilling to give it to me unless I conform to your midwest ways and call it a cinnamon roll. And while we're on the topic, cinnamon rolls are wicked good, jerk.)
Heavily disputed, but always amazing, especially when warm.
2) Orange juice
This is the only OJ we drink because, come to find out, my husband only accepts Tropicana and I desperately need calcium since I detest milk.
3) Sleeping in
4) Ice Road Truckers (Best show about Canada ever. Maybe the only show about Canada...)
5) Taking down our X-mas tree...finally. (Mexicans like to keep up decorations until Feb 2nd, which just so happens to be... tomorrow! Seriously, best-timed snow day ever.)
|Anyone know how to right-side-up my Christmas tree? Cause I sure don't. Regardless, she was a by-mistake-classy little tree. Remind me sometime to post a picture of the one-legged girl throwing a snowball ornament we received at a party.
6) Cuddling
|Wow. Disturbing. I've got a lot questions about this.
7) annnnnnnnnd sweatpants. All day.
|Thanks Wikipedia for letting me know what sweatpants are and for sharing an example. What does Michael Scott say about Wikipedia? Oh right, "Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information."
With this wish-granted snow day, I think I understand where the Man of La Mancha was coming from when he sang:
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
|You dream that impossible dream, Man of La Mancha, and tell that large-chested lady to get out of the shot.
She's stealing your thunder.
I might be so bold as to say that I, too, have dreamed the impossible dream and reached the unreachable star.
Now if only I could I could reach the remote....

We converted this summer break into a fascinating trip to Tuscany, one of the most emblematic y beautiful regions of Italy. We wanted to learn more about art, countryside and most of all, Chianti wines and extra virgin olive oils! What a delicious treat! There are many similitudes that make us feel at home as well as surprising differences that have charmed us.
Spain and Italy are Mediterranean countries that share the same healthy and delicious food: olive oil, wine, bread, ham, cheese, almonds, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and other fresh vegetables and fruits… Using good quality and fresh products, the main cuisine represents a mixture of all those ingredients with little transformation. Very interestingly, the result in cuisine in Andalucía and Tuscany is quite different and we experienced many new delicious flavors!
Here we have tomato toast with Serrano or Iberian ham; there they have "bruschetta de prosciutto". Made of almonds and sugar, we have "turrón" and marzipan; they have "cantuccini", a dry biscuit… In Italy, pizza is omnipresent; here bakers make "ayuyo", olive oil bread covered with tomato paste and oregano… The ingredients are the same but the textures and flavors are different!
The wines we tasted were all very good. We have especially appreciated Chianti Clásico and Brunello de Monteccino. "Enotecas" are everywhere. These are like wine bars with a wonderful collection of wines that you can taste by the glass, half a glass or a quarter of a glass… We discovered La Cantina in Greve in Chianti, which is especially very good. They offer small tastings so you can enjoy more or less quantity with a wide range of prices and excellent quality wines. There were so many wines that we felt that we really needed a few days to get a nice overview! It also felt like going to a live wine library where you can study about the wines and come back many times to look for references… It is a wonderful place to learn a lot about all the different wines, as they are organized by area, DOP and age. Also as you can sample several wines, if you really like one, you can decide to buy a bottle. It was one of the most enriching experiences!
And of course we have tasted a lot of olive oils and they were excellent! Tuscan good quality olive oils have a distinctive aroma and flavor that transports you to nature. They are fresh and grassy, pungent with a clean after-taste. Olive oil is present everywhere, accompanied with balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano, fresh basil and other herbs: you can make your own salad dressing! The salads are delicious composed salads where you can choose what ingredients you want in. Usually they are made with tasty tomatoes, cucumber, finely sliced fresh fennel, red cabbage, mozzarella cheese, arugula, black olives, and a long etc. We were thrilled by the variety of vegetables and different tomatoes that are available!
Some restaurants are specialized in olive oil dishes and menus. They offer full menus including starter, main course and dessert using only a certain variety olive oil, for example, frantoio menu or lecchino menu. By combining an olive oil variety with a special dish they can marry the flavors at their best! Olive oil is also used to make ice cream and as a topping over ice cream and it is delicious!

Shredded Carrot Halava
Carrot halava is a popular dessert dish served at ISKCON temples around the world on ekadasi days. Some people love it, and some are not fond of it at all. Try it out and see if you like this unusual variation on a favorite dish.
It's not your average halava, which is made mostly of farina, but it is a traditional Punjabi style called 'gaajar ka halava'. This particular recipe might be from Kurma, or possibly Yamuna Devi (we would like to know), but there are many variations.
Like most halava, this can either be served warm in scoops or bowls, or can be shaped into a slab and cut into squares, then garnished with nuts and more raisins.
- 1 1⁄2 lb carrots
- 1 1⁄2 cup milk or soy milk
- 8 peppercorns
- 1⁄2 cup white sugar
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon powdered cardamom
- 1⁄2 cup ghee
- 1⁄4 cup raisins or currants
- 1⁄2 cup walnut pieces
- 1⁄2 cup slivered, raw almonds
- 1⁄4 teaspoon clove powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- Combine the carrots, half-and-half, whole milk, and peppercorns in a heavy 5- to 6-quart saucepan and place over a high flame. While stirring constantly, bring the liquid to a full boil. Then reduce the flame to medium high and, stirring frequently, cook for about 25 to 35 minutes, or until the liquid has boiled off and the carrots are nearly dry.
- Add the sweeteners and half the cardamom. Then, while stirring steadily to prevent scorching, cook for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the carrots are again nearly dry.
- Pour in the ghee, 1/4 cup raisins, walnut bits, almonds, powdered spices (including the rest of the cardamom), and fry until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the pan in a mass. Remove the pan from the flame and extract the peppercorns.
- Transfer the halava to a decorative serving bowl or tray. Before offering to Krishna, garnish with raisins or whole walnuts, or decorate the surface with a sheet of edible gold or silver foil.
If you know the origin of this particular recipe, we would like to know so we can credit the cook. Also let us know if you like this recipe, and how it turned out for you. Did you do anything too make it more delicious?
Yamuna's recipe
This recipe closely follows one from Yamuna's "The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking" recipes, "Shredded Carrot Halva with Pistachios". She includes half and half, which is listed here in the directions but not in the ingredients list. I'd like to try it without it since I'm planning on making the vegan version. Yum!
Shredded Carrot Halva
Very nice recipe, my preparation came out nicely, it was delicious, thanks for the recipe. Hari Bol.

The request from Thomas Abbot, the Augur of the Sub Rosa council, couldn't come at a better time for James Stark, aka Sandman Slim. For a man who's most recently met Death – and Death's killer – a few months of normal life is more than he can handle. He needs a little action, and now Abbott wants Stark and Candy to investigate the disappearance of a young boy – and help uncover council members who might be tied to Wormwood's power brokers. Stark's plans change, when he meets a dying angel who gives him a vial of a mysterious black liquid that could be a secret weapon in the ongoing war – between angels who want to allow human souls into heaven, and rebel angels willing to die to keep them out. When one of Stark's closest friends is poisoned with the black liquid, Stark and Candy have to go to the only place, where they might find a cure: hell. But standing in their way are the damned souls who, even after death, still work for Wormwood. The secret deal they've struck with the rebel angels is darker than anything Stark has encountered. The fate of not only the world hangs in the balance but also the souls of everyone in it. Stark has to find a way to break the stalemate in the angel war, score the Perdition cure for the black poison, and make it back to LA in one piece – where an old enemy waits to finish him, once and for all.

Death Merchant Charlie Asher is just as flummoxed, as everyone else. He's trapped in the body of a fourteen-inch-tall 'meat puppet' waiting for his Buddhist nun girlfriend, Audrey, to find him a suitable new body to play host.

The War Against the Assholes
Munson, Sam
Mike Wood is a teenager at a decidedly unprestigious Catholic school in Manhattan, accustomed to solving problems using brawn rather than brains. One day, his nerdy classmate Hob Callahan persuades him to read a mysterious old book of unknown authorship, The Calendar of Slights. On the face of things, the book is a guide to performing clever card tricks; but, in fact, it is a test for recruiting new members to join a secret cell of radical magicians. Amazingly, Mike passes with flying colours unlocking not only his potential magic powers – but also the door to New York City's vast and hidden underground network of warlocks, sorcerers and mages.

The Sudden Appearance of Hope
North, Claire
'Listen. All the world forgets me. First my face, then my voice, then the consequences of my deeds. So, listen. Remember me. My name is Hope Ardern, and you won't know who I am. We've met before – a thousand times. But I am the girl the world forgets. It started when I was sixteen years old. A slow declining, an isolation, one piece at a time. A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A teacher who forgets to chase my missing homework. A friend who looks straight through me and sees a stranger. No matter what I do, the words I say, the people I hurt, the crimes I commit – you will never remember who I am. That makes my life tricky. But it also makes me dangerous…' The new thriller, from the ingenious voice who brought you The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and Touch ($19.99 each).

Too Like the Lightning
Palmer, Ada
Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes, he is required – as is the custom of the 25th century – to wander the world being as useful as he can, to all he meets. Carlyle Foster is a sensayer – a spiritual counsellor in a world that has outlawed the public practice of religion, but which also knows that the inner lives of humans cannot be wished away. The world into which Mycroft and Carlyle have been born is as strange to our 21st-century eyes, as ours would be to a native of the 1500s. It is a hard-won utopia built on technologically-generated abundance, and also on complex and mandatory systems of labelling all public writing and speech. What seem to us normal gender distinctions are now distinctly taboo in most social situations. And most of the world's population is affiliated with globe-girdling clans of the like minded, whose endless economic and cultural completion is carefully managed by central planners of inestimable subtlety. And in this world, Mycroft and Carlyle have stumbled on the wild card that may destabilise the system: the boy Bridger, who can effortlessly make his wishes come true. '[It] manages to be several books at once: a serious philosophical treatise; a murder-mystery whose surprises buffet the reader like cold slaps out of nowhere that feel inevitable in hindsight; a piece of historical theory in narrative form; a thought-experiment about gender, nationality, identity and bigotry; and a gripping personal story whose players are likable, flawed, sexy, and sometimes terrifying…a book more intricate, more plausible, more significant, than any debut I can recall.' – Cory Doctorow.

But worldly success follows them – an apparent loss in the Trials leads to Touchstone being selected to travel to the Continent, with a Royal Embassy, to collect Prince Ashgar's new bride.

For nearly half a century, feminist scholars, writers, and fans have successfully challenged the notion that science fiction is all about 'boys and their toys', pointing to authors such as Mary Shelley, Clare Winger Harris, and Judith Merril as proof that women have always been part of the genre.

The WIPocalypse SAL is hosted by Measi's Musings.
Time to slow down for a while and look back to see what I could do this month. As every month happens, I did so much less than what I really wanted to do. Some of my annual projects didn't advance as I was preparing some Easter decoration and now I need to catch up with them.
But before I start showing what I did, as every moth I do, let's see the list of my WIPs.
- Hooties All Year Round 1
- Just Cross Stitch Christmas ornament
- Month Flower
- Connie Gee Design Blackwork SAL
- Advent Calendar
- Season Dreamcatcher
- Easter Egg NEW
- Easter decoration NEW
- Litha
I am running behind with the owls. April's owl should be done by now but I could only make March's one on this month. It is representing Saint Patrick's Day. I hope I can catch up and finish April's and May's owls by the end of May.
I finished two flowers this month, primroses, representing February and daffodils which represent March. Both of them are done in evenweave fabric using DMC stranded cotton threads. Primroses are framed using a hoop and the daffodils are finished as a small cushion.
I made a good advance in the Advent Calendar. I finished the ornaments for days 4 to 7. They are pair of mittens, a bauble, a snowman, a poinsettia and an angel. I will try to go up to day 10 in May.
Last update I mentioned that I started my Seasonal Dreamcatchers. Well, it is finished now and looks very nice. I made it in 14 count Aida fabric using the DMC called for threads. They will be very nice once they are all together.
This month I also finished the Litha Banner which I was carrying over from last year. I finished it as I did with the rest, using this time yellow back fabric.
For Easter this year I prepared two embroideries. Both designs are from the Just Cross Stitch April issue magazine. One of them is an Easter egg embroidered with speciality stitches. You can read more here about the stitches I used in that piece.
The other one is more simple but not less nice because of that. The design says Happy Easter and shows some typical Easter things as eggs, bunnies, etc.
I started the spring magical mystery SAL proposed by Magical Quilts and More. I just started it and made the two first parts. That will be over soon and I will show it next month. For now, I want to show the fabric and threads I chose for it.
I couldn't do anything for the JCS Christmas ornaments or the Connie Gee blackwork SAL.
Measi's Musings use to do propose a question every month. For the month of April the question is:
"Talk to us about your longest running WIP or UFO"
Fortunately I don't have now any WIP or UFO running for long time, but the project which took me longer in finishing was the Queen of Water. I started it on 2015 and finished only beginning of this year. I will try to avoid that happen again as much as posible.

Spring is finally here! The month of March is a transitional period for me, meaning it's time to switch up some products and try some new things.
Honestly, I had to stop my no-buy from February because my skin was angry. I was sick for the entire first half of March and my t-zone and under my nose was red and inflamed. I had to take care of that little (big, really) problem before it got out of hand.
Once my face cleared up some, I was able to create a couple of looks that I really loved, but I couldn't get blog-quality pictures of them. Such. A. Bummer. I really need a better camera, because using my iPhone is such a flippin' hassle. The camera on the 7 plus is phenomenal, but I can never get the angle right when taking a picture! It's about time for a DSLR.
Anyway, this list of March beauty must-haves is a combo of old/new products that I really enjoyed using!
