Chabin is an area about a 20 min. drive north of Jacmel. We will have over two hundred children attending these schools in Sept. 07. We started the first school in January of 2006. This was our first project in Haiti. We will be building a second level on the second school during the summer of 2008. For this year to help make room we will build two classrooms outside for two of the pre school classes. The children start pre school at the age of three and the schools go up to grade 6. In Haiti their school system goes to grade 13 and we hope to build high school for the children from the mountain regions. All of our schools are in the mountains and remote except for Jacmel which will open Sept. 2007. We have purchased 20 acres of land at this location where we will have our own gravel/sand pit where we will be able to build our own cinder blocks. We will eventually build a technical school, training the young people skills such as welding, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, cabinet building, masonry, sewing, etc. We hope to build accomodations on the property for our teachers and cooks that work at the school. We will also build a house to house people that want to come over and help at the schools for short term visits. It is a very rare thing to have a high school in any of the regions where we are working. We hope to build a high school on the property to educate all the children at that level from all of our projects in souther Haiti. To do this we will have to build dorms for the students to live during the school terms. We also want to build water purification systems on this property. We will post more of this at a later date. Water is a huge need in this country.
