Astronaut visits the CENTRE MONTESSORI D’HAITI.

Students and teachers of the Montessori teacher-training centre in Liancourt, Haiti, were honoured by a visit from NASA astronaut Dr. Michael Barratt, Carol Guy-James Barratt’s brother in law, who shared his experiences as an Astronaut with them. 
In 2009 Dr. Barratt lived in space for a period of seven months aboard The International Space Station, a large spacecraft that orbits the Earth. 
Dr Barratt made a second voyage into space as a Mission Specialist on the final flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery. One of Dr. Barratt’s most memorable moments was seeing Earth from space for the first time. He describes our planet as both “beautiful and fragile”.
