Going to school in Haiti after the earthquake | Education | The Guardian

A good article on the schools in Haiti. From the difficulty in funding, to the lack of supplies, and dirty/crowded conditions.

Going to school in Haiti after the earthquake | Education | The Guardian:

"In Nwayo, a camp of 3,000 people outside Croix-des-Bouquets, children who do have access to school have begun attending a 'child-friendly space', where they can play safely, away from the troubles of the camp.

'The majority of kids did not go to school before the earthquake,' says Reuben Emmanuel, principal of the child-friendly space at Nwayo. 'Now they are in the child-friendly space taking the opportunity to have some education.'

The article ends with a funny line (funny since I went in absolutely filthy clothes and have no hair:

""A lot of strangers come here," one eight-year-old boy told me, as he ate sweet plantains from a little Tupperware box during his morning break at Fleur de Chou. "I like them. I don't know if they have helped us, but they wear nice clothes and have long hair.""
