Two days well spent in the teacher-training campus of the Peter-Hesse-Foundation in Liancourt, Haiti:
Two of the 7 teachers attending in Liancourt making materials for their schools.
Didactical materials are in short supply in Haiti and most schools do not even have alphabet charts, especially in the countryside.
Sometimes, Carol Guy-James Barratt wishes we could just go out and buy materials because it is a lot of work to make them ourselves. But when we are sitting together, exchanging experiences and talking about our schools and our kids, the ambience of fellowship is worth the work.
Two new Montessori project preschools opened this year:
The new school “Ecole Montessori de Dessalines”, opened by one of our recently graduating students in October 2017 – and the school “Les Petits Genies” in Petionville also opened now by one of our teachers who already graduated in 2008.
