COVID is peaking in Haiti and it is adding grief and loss to this country. And we just learned from a villager that our school in the EcoVIllage (along with all schools in Haiti) has been closed by the Ministry. We don’t know how long this will continue or how it will impact our class taking their exams.
This is an important year in the life of the School in the EcoVillages of Haiti. For the first time ever, since opening eight years ago, our EcoVillage School has a ninth grade class! Like many countries around the world, Haiti issues a test at the end of the school year to determine if a child is able to attend high school.
The test is called the "9th AF Exam" and will be issued in July 12-14, 2021. There will be 15 children from the EcoVillage school taking the test. Four of those children have attended our school each of the 8 years it has been open. We have profiled some of these children before and you can read their stories here:
