The beginning of this school year was unlike any other for the 230 pre-K and K children at Our Lady of Perpetual Help school in Petite-Riviere de l'Artibonite in Haiti. For the first time in the history of the school resources, though quite limited, were made available to provide tailored training to the six K and pre-K teachers prior to the opening of the 2013-2014 school year. In addition, educational games, arts and crafts materials and age appropriate books, gave a richer and more varied educational experience. This new learning environment also raised expectations of children, teachers, parents and the community and energized all concerned.
Sister Christiane, Principal of the school, expressed her appreciation as follows:
"This year, thanks to GlobalGiving financing, we are able to provide books for the children and support the teachers with new supplies and educational materials. This has created a learning environment highly appreciated by teachers, parents and the larger community. We are most grateful to our donors who made possible the progress achieved so far. Much remains to be done to reach and sustain high quality early childhood education for these vulnerable Haitian children."
Please help us reach our goal of providing each K and pre-K child a challenging and inspiring learning experience. If you can please sign up for a recurring monthly gift.
