Alton has been our interpreter in Haiti and Honduras. He speaks something like five languages. We would be lost without him. He has a gift that I truly envy. He can talk freely to the children and does so the entire time he is in Haiti. The children speak creole there. A mixture of African and French not easy for me to learn. It's something that Alton says comes easy to him. I would love to be able to talk to the people while I'm there like he does. What a wonderful gift.

    It is sad that language is one of the barriers between people. Alton does have an incredible gift. A wonderful capture.

    Debrah....I'm glad you saw that....You are right, Alton gives the children or anyone he is talking to his undivided attention. He is a very nice man.
