Yesterday Cite Soleil Community School leadership team, teachers, students and other kids in neighborhood, with help of tractors (below) began clearing debris on a new piece of land. Cite Soleil Community School is a partner school of Haiti Partners.

They had been renting the facility previously being used, which was damaged by earthquake. The lease was nearly finished. Thus, Cite Soleil Community School is moving forward with plans that have been in place for several years to secure land and think long term. Once this land–a portion of it is already owned by the school and additional adjacent lots are being purchased now–is cleared, a temporary structure will be built so that education of the children can continue.
