School Opens ENTHUSIASTICALLY!

Dec 7, 2023

I'm so happy to share this video. It was a joyful first day of school at the Matènwa Community Learning Center. They successfully opened their doors on-time despite the growing violence, insecurity, hunger, and uncertainty in Haiti.

No matter what the political crisis on the mainland brings, our dedicated teachers, school leadership, and parents are determined to see that MCLC students don't miss even one day of classes.
