School, Mission School available at Hope for the Children of Haiti (ORPHANAGE) - 2010 Haiti Earthquake

On April 5th the school reopened. The repairs to the main building have been completed! The reopening got off to a slow start as many children went to the country to live with relatives post-earthquake and many of the teachers still have basic living concerns such as housing and food. We are very grateful that our buildings needed only repair, not reconstruction. There are many schools in the area that did not fare as well and we would like to be able to accommodate those children as things begin to stabilize. Through opening the school, we can offer some return to a normal routine amidst the chaos left after the earthquake.

The first day of school was spent talking to each other about the earthquake.Many of the HFC kids said that while they are prepared and not as scared about the earthquake, many of the other kids are not as well prepared or ready for school as they are.
