And this is the Grade 5 and 6 class. 8 of the 9 students in this class are completing 2 years of schooling in one year so that they can write the state exams for graduating from elementary school at the end of the school year.
Erol helps doing special education and tutors children one on one. He reinforces what is taught in class to the students. We hope that this special attention will help the students advance in their educational development.
Calens is almost blind but as you can see here he is learning the alphabet. We found that if we use the bright yelllow color on a black background he can see the letters. Phil and Rosalyn talked with the CNIB and they are going to take on the challenge of helping Calens read. There is special equipment available out there and they want to donate this for Calens. We just need to determine what magnification level is the right one for Calens. We need to get him to an eye doctor this week for testing.
Ted's law firm recently celebrated their 30th anniversary and they decided to celebrate their 30 years as a firm they would hold a fundraiser dinner. A few projects were recipients of the funds raised and ours was selected as one of them :) Funds are tighter this year so this donation will really help us out. Thanks Ted!
We visited Yonels neighborhood to show what is left of Yonel's new house. The house was knocked down by British Red Cross/Haitian workers to make room for an extended canal in September and nothing has been done since. I am really disappointed with the British Red Cross. They put the project on hold in October and it hasn't been started back up yet. I am counting the months and will post each months delay. It is now 4 months that Yonel could have been living in a nice rebuilt home that the British Red Cross smashed. Pray the British Red Cross decides to finish the project. 2 of these young boys are school age. Yonel's neighborhood is a poor one. These 2 students are not part of the free education program yet but I hope one day they will get the opportunity to go to school.
