Marfranc School Project
 
Beginning in September 2007, New Life for Haiti will be sending teams to the village of Marfranc to help the church there to complete its primary school building, and to build a secondary school building. As you can see, the primary school building (up through 6th grade) needs a lot of completion. There is a "stick and roof" structure where the secondary building will go, but we will be replacing this with a building that has a poured concrete floor and concrete block walls. This is an amazing opportunity to help the Haitian children in Marfranc get an education they would otherwise have no access to. Most schools in Haiti have almost no teaching resources or tools (books, encyclopedias, globes, equipment, etc.). All of the things you are used to seeing in an American classroom simply do not exist there. We hope to equip schools in our work area better! Once we get these buildings built, we'll figure out what a well-equipped village school in Haiti should really have!
