Haiti Highlights: Day 3 – CAFT & Anis Zunuzi

I’m just writing up some of the highlights from our trip to Haiti as we continue our work for the Mona Foundation.  I already blogged about the first 2 days which were settling in and getting ready for our work.  So we’ll start with …

Day 3: Monday, September 14, 2009

First, we visited CAFT, a teacher-training program in Haiti that helps develop teachers’ capacities and techniques as educators.  Ruhi did a bunch of interviews with some of the administrators of the program and I took photos and a few behind-the-scene videos in support.

After CAFT we took a drive to the Anis Zunuzi School located in Lilavois.  It is a K-10 education facility set up for the poorest of children in one of the poorest countries on the planet.  However, I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of the word “poor” being used to describe these kids or this country.  They truly are rich in ways that aren’t reflected in the metrics of materialism.  Hundreds of kids attend this school in one of the rougher parts of the outskirts of Port-Au-Prince and are provided an education that they would otherwise not receive.
