Quisqueya News: Tuesday, February 23
This morning in chapel we enjoyed some special guest speakers from the United States military.
Colonel Lowe is a member of the US Army and is a former physics instructor at West Point. Colonel Lowe joined us in chapel this morning to share with our students about his career and what the US military is doing in Haiti to assist in the earthquake relief efforts.
Colonel Lowe conducted a “Q & A” time with the students and answered questions about how long his average deployment is, what countries he has traveled to, why he joined the Army after high school, and what it is like to jump out of an airplane!
Colonel Lowe shared that 8 of the soldiers staying on campus are of Haitian descent and speak Kreyol. Those Haitian soldiers are helping to translate as the military continues to support relief efforts. Colonel Lowe invited the students to ask any more questions they have in the coming days and that they are glad to be in Haiti.
