This past Wednesday we convened school principals, assistants and teacher representatives from our seven partner schools. These are 4 schools outside of Leogane (earthquake epicenter), one in Cite Soleil, one on Island of La Gonave, and one in mountains south of Port-au-Prince. The visioning, strategizing and prioritizing, not to mention fellowship, energized us all. Among the things we accomplished included a one page document defining our collective vision and goals, including skills and values that we will work to develop and nurture in our students.

We also created the year’s program of training for teachers and administrators, shared successes and challenges, and scheduled another meeting for December to review progress and address challenges. We can’t thank Haiti Partners’ supporters enough for investing in the country’s future–the education of children.
