Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are thrilled to share an update on the transformative impact your generosity is having on children in Haiti, even amidst the ongoing challenges. Your support is a beacon of hope, providing stability and opportunity where it's needed most.
School Year Success:
We successfully completed the school year on June 20th! Despite the political instability in Port-au-Prince, your commitment helped us maintain consistent classroom instruction throughout the spring. This consistency has been vital for our students, providing them with a safe and nurturing learning environment. Imagine the relief of a child knowing that their school is a stable place amidst the chaos.
Unprecedented Achievement in Cap-Haitian:
We have some truly extraordinary news to share from our classrooms in Cap-Haitien. Every single student in Cap-Haitien successfully passed to the next grade level this year! This remarkable achievement is a testament to their incredible dedication, the unwavering support of their families, and the tireless efforts of our teachers, especially in the face of limited resources and daily challenges. We are immensely proud of their progress and their commitment to learning. This success demonstrates the power of education and your support in transforming lives!
Tutoring Triumph: Bossting Skills & Confidence:
Our after-school tutoring program recently concluded, and the results are truly inspiring. Thanks to your support and the dedication of our teachers and volunteers, students have made significant gains in reading, math, and English. For example, we saw a 20% increase in reading comprehension scores among participating students! This progress is building their confidence and setting them up for future success.
Nurturing Wellbeing: A Safe Space to Learn and Grow:
We understand the emotional toll the unrest in Port-au-Prince takes on our students. Your contributions enable us to provide a safe and supportive environment where they can process their experiences and focus on learning. Our teachers are trained to recognize and address the signs of stress and trauma, creating a caring community within the classroom. *One student told us, "School is the only place where I feel safe and can forget about everything else."
Summer Learning Adventure: Preventing Learning Loss:
Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome students back in mid-July for our summer program! This program is crucial in combating summer learning loss and keeping students engaged through fun and enriching activities. We'll be offering hands-on science experiments, creative arts workshops, and literacy games – all designed to make learning fun and reinforce key concepts. Your support helps provide the materials and resources needed to make this program a success.
Looking Forward: Building a Brighter Future:
We are hopeful for a peaceful summer and are already planning for a strong start to the new school year in the fall. We are committed to providing quality education and a nurturing environment for our students, empowering them to reach their full potential.
Thank You!
