[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1648679536976{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

While Haiti’s recent challenges remain, the work at the Children’s Academy continued apace this winter. The wellness team organized a 3-day dental clinic, the school held an Open Space meeting on child protection, and, as seen in this video, they also had more training on teaching in Haiti’s mother tongue, Haitian Creole.

Special conference helps teachers teach through crisis

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1648693871089{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Their goals were (1) to better meet student, and their own, needs amidst Haiti’s current crises, and (2) how to boost morale. The conference was a great success and served as a great platform from which to begin the 2nd part of the school year. Learn more here.
