After nearly a year at St. Rodrigue, the things that never fail to inspire me are breathtaking moments in the mountains, and the girls. I happen upon girls all around the community. They readily share with me their lives and thoughts and I with them. However, when it comes to the girls, I find it difficult to describe their vibrant openness in words. Here, instead, is a visual description, so you can feel their energy for yourself.

“The season is not yet over

So the girls continue,

To and from the tap

Taking care of their plots.”
