What joy to see students back in school! Hats off to them, their teachers, school director Guy, and to people like YOU for making this possible via your donations to Haiti Partners. Click here for high resolution photos. This is one of the largest slums in the Americas and one of the most difficult communities I’ve ever worked in. School is back in session 3 months after Port au Prince has been devastated by the January 12 earthquake.

Here’s a 60 second video of students finishing for the day.

This is Cite Soleil Community School teacher, Elange, sharing her amazing story of giving birth on the street by herself the night of the earthquake.

Here’s a 3-minute video with more details about Cite Soleil Community School being back in session and the challenges facing school directors.
