Welcome to the Haiti EcoVillage School Partnership website.
A New School Year Begins
Eager apprehension: common emotion on the first day of school. And this is especially true at the EcoVillage School. For students, school means friends and learning and at least one solid meal each day. It also brings questions about whether their families can afford uniforms, shoes and tuition. Families are asked to pay 500 Gourdes per child. That’s $3.85USD. Most families cannot afford it.
For teachers, it means return to a familiar routine. Turnover among teachers is minimal. Despite classrooms that are filled to overflowing. Despite minimal supplies. Despite the commute that means walking 5+ miles or catching a ride on the back of a small motor bike.
For everyone, the beginning of school is a relief from the constant fear of chaos and violence haunting their lives and their communities. The EcoVillage School offers hopes for a better future for everyone.
