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!
