Coloring Easter Eggs with the Haitian Children

Coloring Easter eggs with the children in Haiti
Last week in Haiti we asked the children to bring 2 hard boiled eggs to school. After explaining the symbolism of Easter eggs, each child got to dye his/her eggs. Since this was the first time they'd ever done it, we expected they'd proudly take their colored eggs home to show their family. Instead, they gobbled them down as soon as they finished coloring them! I suppose the idea of having a egg sitting around without being eaten is a strange one in a country where food is scarce and nothing goes to waste. Regardless, I think the kids enjoyed it!
