At school despite everything
Dear supporters,
thank you for helping us maintain our long partnership with two schools in Haiti. We were able to continue financially supporting our partner schools St. Emma and St. Nicolas this year. Both are open despite the difficult situation in the country and schooling can only continue thanks to very brave local staff. Many other organisations have had to close or partially close, leaving many children without access to education. Emigration of qualified staff to safer countries ist also a big problem, so we are very happy to keep the schools running for now.
The security situation in Haiti remains very precarious. Gang violence is ongoing in Haiti, in general, and Port-au-Prince, in particular. Gangs continue to terrorise Haitian communities with murders, sexual violence and kidnappings.
We hope that the situation improves in Haiti. Trying to keep the schools running is currently a big achievement, that’s the reason why donations are urgently needed. If you can, please consider supporting St. Emma and St. Nicolas again.

Thank you for your support!
All our best,
The entire team of PEN PAPER PEACE
