Thanks to a generous grant from the Larson Legacy Fund, last summer the school received a major renovation completing the plastering and painting and the installation of a new solar power system and lighting in every classroom. However, because of the national lock-down in Haiti last year, most schools were not able to begin the school year in September, and this including the HAM funded Charles Salomon School in Port-de-Paix. But after relative calm in December the lock-down was removed and Haiti’s children started back at school in January. We are excited that the children of the Part au Paix neighborhood of Baudin-Gros Sable where the Charles Salomon School is located, are now finally able to enjoy their bright new classrooms.
