We'll be starting the program up in May when we're done with construction and the Sustain Haiti volunteers return to Leogane. Their volunteers will be supervising this as well as teaching interactive, play based English classes to the kids each day.
This blog is a convenient way to keep you updated on the progress of Hearts of Haiti's projects. Our current focus is at "L'Orfelinat L'Enfant de L'Espoir" (O.E.E.)- a group of orphans that we found living in tents near Leogane, Haiti last June. We are now building a school called "L'Espoir de Haiti" for the children at the orphanage and the neighboring tent city.

Imagine Learning
I'm very excited to announce that Imagine Learning is going to be donating their renowned English learning software to the school. Their program is such a perfect fit for us because it is geared toward elementary school aged children and it has instructions in Haitian Creole. Each child will have his/her own personal account because the program keeps track of everything which that particular child has learned. Children automatically pick up right where they left off with their lessons the previous day and review previously learned material. One of my former principals that is using this program in her school gave it raving reviews. I was blown away with what I saw when I went into their corporate offices to meet with them. Have a look at a demo of what the children will be learning here.
