Activities of the Peter-Hesse-Foundation in 2013 in Haiti

The year 2013 started with a positive note as our new training centre finally opened for classes after 3 year of struggling to rebuild after the earthquake. 
With your help we accomplished the following in Haiti in 2013:
– Completed 80% of the teacher training facilities,
– began training a new promotion of students who will graduate as teachers in July 2014,
– provided meals for students, 
– bought books and school supplies for the students,
– bought a laptop and printer for the office,
– held in-service training seminars for teachers who already work in schools,
– bought batteries for solar energy system to power most of the centre
– developed and made new language materials for children,
We gave various materials to schools which had been started by graduates of our centre with the assistance of the Foundation, visited schools assisted by our Foundation to evaluate the standard of instruction and children’s progress. To uphold our promise to be an environmentally friendly facility, we planted over 90 trees and plants on the grounds of the training centre and we marked World Environment Day by giving 100 fruit trees to children from 4 different schools in the Artibonite.
