This past term has been a very difficult one emotionally for our students in Rodaille. In mid-April, there was a gang attack on a community not far from the school. Several people were killed, and the local police station was burned down. This is the closest gang activity has ever come to our school community.
Since then, students and staff have been living with fear and uncertainty, worried that the gangs could infiltrate and take over their buildings. Sadly, this is the kind of threat that many communities throughout Haiti face every day.
School is currently still in session and will close for the summer at the end of June. Understandably, the ongoing stress and fear have affected the students’ academic performance. Even so, they continue to persevere and do the best they can under these very difficult circumstances.
Please keep our students, staff, and families in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate through these challenging times.
