HATS Runs on Momentum

February 4, 2016 Posted by Keith Wight

Every school day the kids head next door to school at 7:30 AM. The preschoolers, staff and volunteers then gather for devotions. After devotions and a short time of socializing, everyone disperses to start their day. There is no list of jobs to do (except for me!!) and all the staff knows what needs to be done. A place like HATS is very well run and there are days like today when the whole operation seems to run on momentum.

The cook cooks……

Germaine

The gardener gardens…..

Eugene

The laundry ladies do the laundry…..

Leonard and Madame Saintardieu

The guard guards…..

Richard

The barber barbers…..

Moise getting a trim

The directors direct…..

I’m not sure where Karen and Joan have disappeared to… Maybe working from home, or gone for a pedicure or in a meeting. Another good example of HATS running well on momentum.

The preschoolers play

Sonson found a cool piece of concrete to play on

I just needed a nice mango shake and a quiet place to think about today’s blog!!
