Shaina Silva (second from left) emails, “I am shown in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with (from left) Alexandre de Lespinasse and Christophe de Lespinasse, both ’10, and their father, Christian de Lespinasse ’79. On the day after Christmas, we celebrated the twins’ birthday at an orphanage they often visit in Saintard, and, as a tradition, they visit on their birthday. They invited me to join them, and we played games, ate cake, and shared Christmas gifts. The kids really appreciated the gifts and that the twins chose to celebrate their birthday with them. It was a humbling experience.”
