So – our organization is building a school. The construction is going on in full speed, although the roof seems to be a few days away at any given point. Toilets are progressing. Electricity is not mandatory for the opening. There are quite a few kids registered and assigned to classes. Although we still get additional requests from people that missed the very last deadline. Teachers are in the second week of teacher training. School year officially opens in 10 days.
Rumors are that the Haitian government will not let us open in time because the schools that were destroyed in the earthquake are not operational yet and it will not be fair towards the kids that are supposed to go to them. Seems that instead of “leave no child behind” the motto here is “let not child progress”.

Food update: The office is working with an international organization to try and get food for the kids in school. If we are approved and fulfill all their requirements we will get rice, beans and oil.
