We are proud to announce that our fifth school year in a row started this October in our beautiful primary school in Haiti! We have about 70 students and 8 full-time employees!
Thanks to your donations and the involvement of our dedicated volunteers, we have raised close to $18,000 this year! We used 100% of the donations received to:
1. Complete the construction of the foundations for a 2-story building which will eventually hold 8 classrooms
2. Build a hallway along the administration building with a waiting area for parents
3. Build a new separate entrance which allows a better control of entries and exits
4. Repainted the exterior wall of the school
5. Did various renovation, repair and improvement work on the existing infrastructure
Furthermore, 9 volunteers from the eastern townships took part, at their own expense, in a humanitarian trip to Haiti, where they assisted our teachers in the classrooms (a first!) as well as organize activities with the kids.
