In Haiti the playground is the center of all student activities, from school meetings to fun and games at recess and the raising of the flag every morning. At the Chapman Wilson Academy the playground was a big dirt field. When it rained the children couldn’t get exercise and meet without getting covered in mud. This year we were able to pave the playground in concrete to give the children a safe place to meet and play.
Additionally, at the academy we were also able to replace the roof in three of the classrooms, renovated the kitchen, enhance the security for our put up a block fence with a metal gate to enhance security for our students, installed an electrical solar system, and painted the school building.
This school is one of the only buildings in this part of the village with electricity. The solar system we installed allowed us to purchase fans for the school classrooms and will gives us many opportunities to purchase televisions, computers, and other equipment to improve their education.
The children center in Monchil, now has a brand-new computer room. We were able to purchase fifteen laptops, added a professor and a developed a curriculum to prepare students graduating from elementary school and starting high school.
In our commitment to empower youth in rural Haiti, we provide comprehensive education, healthcare, and life-changing skills. We're building resilient communities and striving for a future free from child slavery. Join us in making a real and lasting difference in these children's and families' lives.
