Despite the unstable and dangerous conditions in Haiti over the past few years, students have demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination to thrive. As noted by Marie Taylor Joseph, most students have managed to keep up with their schoolwork, even amidst the chaos.
She shared, "We are more than satisfied about the end of the school year because we got results we didn’t even expect." It’s inspiring to see how, despite the violence that has caused many students to miss school days, a strong community effort has made a significant difference.
However, it is important to note that due to Haiti’s current conditions, twenty students stopped coming to Marie’s school completely as a direct consequence of violence. This school year, we are hopeful for positive change, ensuring all students receive an education.
Thanks to teachers like Marie Taylor, and hopeful parents, the community is working tirelessly to create a safe and supportive environment for learning. For this next academic school year, we pray there will be some positive changes in Haiti, and that the two opposing fighting groups can make peace, allowing schools in rural areas to operate effectively and safely.
