USAID visit

We were visited today by the USAID Director of the Food For Peace Program and the USAID Director here in Haiti. They came to see the Food Distribution Depot and the Irrigation Project. Above is Beth Cypser, the Haiti Director, as she addresses the crowd gathered in the arched metal building. She is flanked by yours truly and Dr. Banatte, the CRS host for the trip. The other photo is of Jeff Borns, USAID Director of the Food for Peace Program, receiving a metal version of the USAID shield done by one of our artisans, Jean Remy Nelson. The visit was short and sweet and they were pleased to see the results of our collaboration.

Partner in Education

TLHS offers a holistic approach to education which integrates art and social justice. The arts not only supplement academics; rather, they are employed as part of the core curriculum and studied for their intrinsic value and significance as well as in their relationship to other school subjects. The arts also enliven school culture and engage the wider community in the life and learning of the school. Using the arts for social justice teaches students responsibility to their community and commitment to society.
