Our most remote partner school is located on the island of La Gonave. From Port-au-Prince it takes about a day to get there by bus, then boat, then 4×4 or motorcycle. It’s called Bèl Platon Community School.

Periodically we get video updates from the school. This one is of a school-wide sanitation, environmental protection and cleanliness training held last month. This is particularly relevant in this area which is completely rural and undeveloped: no paved roads, no electricity, no piped water, no health services, etc. In this setting, knowledge on these topics and good practices in them can literally save lives.

Many thanks to the school leadership at Bèl Platon Community School for sending us these clips and keeping us abreast of recent developments!
