Basic medical care for Haitian school children

By Jana Gottschalk | Project Leader

Hello!

In Haiti, the situation remains tense due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Even though the country has so far been spared a dramatic second wave of infections such as that experienced in Europe, the future remains uncertain. Especially since the prevention measures that have been proven, such as regular hand washing and physical distance, are not possible in the poor neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince.

 

The situation in our schools St. Emma and St. Nicolas

Luckily, both of our elementary schools remain open under a strict hygiene policy and provide a safe place for the 600 students to learn. 

We were also very glad that our project for the basic medical care project for the children could continue at the end of last year. Two medically trained teams examined the students and informed the parents about the children's health, possible treatments and vaccinations. 

Basic medical care, information and the detection of possible illnesses become even more important in the current pandemic situation. Without the check-up, previous illnesses of the children would probably have remained undetected for a long time, and threaten the health of the students. That shows how important regular health check-ups are. Projects like this are therefore very important to us, as many of the children would otherwise be largely denied access to basic medical care. 

 

Global citizenship education in Germany

Part of our work is dedicated to global citizenship education. We are constantly working on our range of educational materials. As part of this, we run a digital learning platform where students and teachers have free access to our digital learning materials. So far, we offer 5 self-learning modules on Haiti's history and present, designed for high school students.

In addition, our "Toolbox for Global Citizens" provides young people with the tools they need for their own social involvement - from brainstorming through planning all the way to their own project!

Now we are also working on elementary school-appropriate digital learning expeditions on in Honduras and Haiti, so stay tuned! You can find our digital learning platform here.

Without your contribution the support for these projects would not be possible! Thank you for being a part of PEN PAPER PEACE!

 

Kindest regards,

the whole PEN PAPER PEACE team
