After Storm Melissa, Yspaniola will prioritize a power generator for the Batey Libertad learning center-an urgent need beyond our means-so classes continue during outages. We'll also keep tablets and laptops available for students, teachers, and volunteers in the center, preschool, and office.
Frequent and prolonged power outages in Batey Libertad disrupt classes, tutoring, and administration at Yspaniola's learning center, preschool, and office. After Storm Melissa, our generator failed, eliminating the backup power we rely on to keep lights, fans, and devices running. Without reliable power, students lose learning time, teachers and volunteers can't deliver lessons, and digital resources sit idle.
Purchase and install a new power generator sized for the learning center, preschool, and office, including safe wiring and a transfer switch so we can operate during grid outages. Maintain device access (tablets and laptops) on site so students, teachers, and volunteers can continue literacy practice, lesson prep, and small-group tutoring whenever the center is open. 90-day targets: 1 generator purchased, installed, and tested. Center open and operating during outages (tracked by hours of ser
A dependable generator safeguards uninterrupted instruction, stabilizes program schedules, and protects past learning gains. Reliable power lets us use digital tools consistently, improve reading and writing outcomes, and host more volunteer-led activities. Over time, the center becomes a resilient hub for education in Batey Libertad-better prepared for future storms and grid shortages.
