Hello,
I am the French teacher at Charleston High School in Charleston, IL and a
member of AATF. Some of my French students have designed a simple tee
shirt that says "Haiti Espoir." The shirt is kelly green in color with
white print. The printer is selling us each shirt for $5.00 and we will
be selling for $10.00, donating every cent of the $5 profit to Doctors
Without Borders.
I was wondering if you would be willing to help us spread the word about
the shirts to AATF members, I will create a page on our school website
where anyone can buy the shirts for $10 plus a small shipping fee.
I was hoping that with your help we could spread the word and raise more
money for Haiti.
Thanks,
Rick Cohoon

Bonjour du Lac du bois
En Normandie ou j’ai grandi, le ciel d’hivers et souvent bas et lourd et la bruime froide pénètre jusqu’aux os mais le deux février jour de la chandeleur il fait chaud dans les chaumières. Sur la gazinière les mamans jonglent avec trois ou quatre poêles d’où sautent des crêpes blondes et dorées que les marmots dévorent avec gourmandise les mains collantes de sucres et de confitures
Et la prochaine elle est pour qui?
Moi je suis prête pour une autre crêpe avec du Nutella cette fois
La chandeleur c’est la fête de la lumière
Faisceau que le français apporte dans nos classes
Au bon plaisir de vous accueillir au Lac du bois avec vos élèves
