Last Saturday, Haiti Partners long-time colleague, Enel Angervil, new staff member, Benaja Antoine, and two local partners, Pastor Ilven Obel and Principal Jean-Thony Delus, organized and conducted a community-wide Open Space meeting in the remote island village of Bèl Platon, where one of our partner schools is located.  Despite a rain storm, 56 participants came from 10 regional institutions and included local officials, representatives of international non-governmental organizations, as well as a number of school principals, teachers, and pastors.  The theme of the meeting was: What kind of education and activities are best for community development?
