  5. We&#39;ve been working on setting up a computer lab for the children at the Haitian school, but it&#39;s been a long process. We&#39;ve received donations of used laptops, but they are often quite old with numerous problems, and at 10 lbs or so each, we are only able to bring one or two with us each time we&amp;nbsp;travel to Haiti. &lt;br /&gt;
  6. &lt;br /&gt;
  7. Thanks to an extremely generous donation we received recently, we were able to purchase 15 Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet computers, protective cases with keyboards for each tablet, screen protectors, extension cords, and surge protectors for the &quot;computer lab&quot;. The tablets are perfect for small hands,&amp;nbsp;are more indestructible than laptops,&amp;nbsp;and the children LOVE them. &lt;br /&gt;

  12. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  13. &quot;Why do Haitian children need tablets?&quot;you may ask. We see it as a technology leap. The children and school have few books or resources for research or learning, and most things are learned via memorizing. There is so much learning the children can&amp;nbsp;do on the tablets. In addition to learning basic computer skills such as writing a Word document, the computer teacher will also teach them how to do Power Point presentations and send email. Each tablet has a built in camera so the children can learn to take and edit pictures and movies. We downloaded an English app for the children to learn English, a math app to practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as a typing app to learn to type. Each tablet has Wikipedia in French and host of other educational programs. We feel that the possibilities are endless with tablets and the&amp;nbsp;multitude of free apps available for learning.&lt;br /&gt;
  14. &lt;br /&gt;
  15. Have we convinced you? Please consider donating via the button below so we can purchase more tablets for the children. Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;

  31. Thanks to the members of &lt;a href=&quot;http://kofkfairfax.ctsmemberconnect.net/home-ctrl.do&quot;&gt;King of Kings Lutheran Church&lt;/a&gt; in Fairfax, VA, I collected over 50 pair of used eyeglass for Haiti. I shipped them off to a Haitian American optometrist who will be taking them with him to Haiti the next time he goes. Merci!&lt;br /&gt;

  49. The children at Gentille Hirondelle school are bursting with love to share. Although they only seem me once or twice a year, they all seem to remember me and greet me with cheers of &quot;Madame Julie!&quot; They are always a bit shy at first, but once a couple children come over to hug me, they the floodgate opens and huge groups of&amp;nbsp;adorable children compete to give me hugs or stand&amp;nbsp;next to me&amp;nbsp;in photos.&amp;nbsp;A few chidren&amp;nbsp;like to walk around hand and hand with me, or with their arm snugly around me.&amp;nbsp;All the love sure is alright&amp;nbsp;with me, and I wish I could just take them all home with me! When I am&amp;nbsp;with the children in Haiti, I realize that there is no such thing as too much love. &lt;/div&gt;

  61. We have been very fortunate to have received several large donations lately, so we decided to share the love with several other educational projects in Haiti. &lt;br /&gt;
  62. &lt;br /&gt;
  63. The first project we did in December was to replace the roof on a small community school in Tabarre, Haiti called College&amp;nbsp;de l&#39;Avenir (it has nothing to do with a &quot;college&quot;-it&#39;s just the French name). The roof on the small school had a gazillion small holes in it, and although they were small, the rain poured in and down on the children. We were happy to be able to re-roof the school and keep the children in class instead of sent home during rain.&amp;nbsp; Here is a picture of the roof with it&#39;s many holes:&lt;br /&gt;

  81. Next we visited&amp;nbsp;an amazing project run by an American husband-wife team called &lt;a href=&quot;http://heartlineministries.org/&quot;&gt;Heartline Ministries&lt;/a&gt;. The projects has several elements including a maternity center, a job skills training center, and literacy classes for adults. In addition to delivering babies, the maternity center gives free&amp;nbsp;Depo-Provera shots every three months to women for birth control, it gives pre-natal classes, and it gives parenting classes. The job skills classes teach sewing and crafting, and the creations are sold online and at their boutique in Haiti. Check out the beautiful merchandise here at &lt;a href=&quot;http://haitiancreations.com/&quot;&gt;Haitian Creations&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; All proceeds are invested back into their projects. We believe in the mission and the great work this organization is doing and decided to contribute to their educational programs.&lt;br /&gt;
  82. &lt;br /&gt;
  83. Lastly, we decided to support&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://prosjekthaiti.org/&quot;&gt;Prosjekt Haiti&lt;/a&gt;, another organization&amp;nbsp;that we believe is making a real difference in Haiti. Prosjekt Haiti has a free school&amp;nbsp;for 300 children,&amp;nbsp;after-school classes for both children and adults, and many programs for women. They also create jobs by training Haitians to work in their bakery and hair salon, with the goal of all profits&amp;nbsp;being re-invested into their projects. &lt;br /&gt;
  84. &lt;br /&gt;
  85. We love these organizations and hope you will check them out and consider supporting them too! At a minimum, check out their boutiques the next time you need a gift!&lt;br /&gt;

The American children made cards for them to take back to Haiti. The directors answered questions about Haiti, and taught the children a Haitian stone game called &quot;Os Cabri&quot; (&quot;Goat Bones&quot;).&amp;nbsp;Haitian children don&#39;t have many toys to play with, so they play games with&amp;nbsp;simple things they can find, like stones.&amp;nbsp;Os Cabrit is so easy for Haitian children, but&amp;nbsp;the Virginia kids had stones flying all over the room,&amp;nbsp;making the directors laugh like crazy!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  155. Mario and Evangeline Pierre, the husband and wife directors of Gentille Hirondelle elementary school in Haiti, visited Julie in Virginia this summer. We spent the entire two weeks laughing&amp;nbsp;while doing all sorts of things that Mario and Evangeline had never done before like ride in a row boat, visit the monuments in Washington DC, ride a merry-go-round, see a haunted house, eat Chinese food with chopsticks, and go on a ferris wheel. Friends of Julie&#39;s generously gave the directors a violin and ukulele to take back with them and share with the children in music class at the school in Haiti.&lt;/div&gt;

  273. Bonjour friends! PECH Haiti/100 Schools 4 Haiti is now collecting used eye glasses and cases for children and adults in Haiti. Our goal is to take 100 pairs of glasses to those needing them in Haiti. &lt;/div&gt;
  274. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  275. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  276. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  277. We are also looking for an eye doctor who can volunteer a few hours of time to help us figure out the prescriptions of the glasses. &lt;/div&gt;
  278. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  279. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  280. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  281. Do you know an eye doctor? Can you take up a collection of glasses at your school/work/place of worship? &lt;/div&gt;

  323. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  324. Thanks to those of you who donated recorders, we were able to begin a music class at Gentille Hirondelle elementary school in Tabarre, Haiti this winter. Haitians are very talented musically, so the children have picked up how to play the recorders easily. We got to sit in on one of the music classes a couple weeks ago, and it just warmed my heart to see the children playing those recorders! The music teacher is a wonderfully gentle Haitian man named Franz who was one of my adult English students when I taught English in Haiti in 2011. It was great to see him working with the children!&lt;br /&gt;
  325. &lt;br /&gt;
  326. The only thing I didn&#39;t like about the music class is that at the end of class, the children just toss the recorders into a box and the next group of kids comes in and grabs one to play. No washing or sanitizing at all! In general, there is lots of germ sharing in Haiti-thank goodness Haitians have such strong immune systems! I collected enough recorders for each student to be assigned one, and the school is working out a system to do this. Things &quot;disappear&quot; easily in Haiti, so I&#39;ve suggested asking each family to pay a $5 deposit for each child&#39;s recorder. This way the students can bring them home to practice without the fear of them getting lost/stolen/sold/etc. These types of systems are new to the school, but I&#39;m sure they&#39;ll have worked it out by my next trip.&lt;br /&gt;

  356. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  357. Last week in Haiti we asked the children to bring 2 hard boiled eggs to school. After explaining the symbolism of Easter eggs, each child got to dye his/her eggs. Since this was the first time they&#39;d ever done it, we expected they&#39;d proudly take their colored eggs home to show their family. Instead, they gobbled them down as soon as they finished coloring them! I suppose the idea of having a egg sitting around without being eaten is a strange one in a country where food is scarce and nothing goes to waste. Regardless, I think the kids enjoyed it!&lt;/div&gt;

  399. Our Lego project with the Gentille Hirondelle elementary school children was a huge success! At first, the Haitian children hesitated, not knowing what to do with the colorful Legos. They kept calling, &quot;Madame Julie! Aidez-moi!&quot; (Ms. Julie! Help me!) After they figured out how to put the pieces together, they began making little creations. Some followed the directions from the kits, and others used their own creativity. They were so proud of the things they built and wanted to take them home with them. We immediately noticed that a few of the children have very engineering-oriented brains because they caught on quickly and dove into their projects.&lt;br /&gt;
  400. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW1pCSGc0IOndVGZv5rDsbQ8jAQ-glqJAxrAYwhQ0mh2wl9JIHSlgvekCdTTrwbH8t0HnXbV7UMNdria9Qn6WL2eWo_qyskfbgHkes97omvMRjRrFAhQFhly13O7qCe46CDsEShMVH8H8/s1600/IMG_6660.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW1pCSGc0IOndVGZv5rDsbQ8jAQ-glqJAxrAYwhQ0mh2wl9JIHSlgvekCdTTrwbH8t0HnXbV7UMNdria9Qn6WL2eWo_qyskfbgHkes97omvMRjRrFAhQFhly13O7qCe46CDsEShMVH8H8/s320/IMG_6660.JPG&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  401. &lt;br /&gt;
  402. I felt the children really enjoyed working with the Legos, especially since they rarely get to play and they have few, if any, toys. I also think it was very therapeutic for them. The school plans to continue working with the Legos once a week to help foster basic engineering skills and build creativity. I can&#39;t wait to see their designs and creations next time I go back!&lt;/div&gt;

  515. I am collecting all types of books in French too add to our mini-library at school in Haiti. Books are such a luxury in Haiti and people rarely read for pleasure. Children don&#39;t have access to books, and I&#39;ve never seen a library in Haiti. We started a mini-library at the school where children and teachers can check out books, but most of them are in English. We desperately need books in French for the children and community!&lt;br /&gt;

  567. Do your children have Legos they no longer play with? Can they share some with the children in Haiti?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  568. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  572. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  573. I&#39;m collecting used Legos to have a Lego camp with the children in Haiti. When I brought some of my sons&#39; Legos to for the girls in my Haitian host family this past August, they had no idea what to do with them. They had never built anything! I realized that if they weren&#39;t used to building and creating things, the other Haitian children probably weren&#39;t either, so the Lego idea was born.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  574. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  575. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  576. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  577. Because there are so few learning materials at school, children learn by memorizing. They don&#39;t do anything that is hands on nor creative. My goal with the Lego camps is to teach some basic engineering skills to the children and also teach them creativity. I&#39;ll post pictures of their creations.&lt;/div&gt;
  578. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  579. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  580. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  581. If you have Legos to donate, please contact me for the address.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Each child and/or parent wrote a note&amp;nbsp;thanking their
  635. sponsor and we took a picture together (here are some of the pictures). The parents are so appreciative. Some of the parents never
  636. attended school so couldn&#39;t write the letters. When we asked them to write, they looked at us apprehensively, not wanting to admit that they were illiterate, so we offered to write for them. They dictated their letters in either Kreyol or
  637. French (often a combination of the two) and&amp;nbsp;we
  638. wrote their words for them. It was very moving for me.&lt;/div&gt;

  706. Thank you so much to the following generous individuals for their donations to PECH Haiti for the 2012-2013 school year! After each trip I begin a new &quot;Thank You&quot; post, so if you donated before my August 2012 trip your name is on a previous post. Cumulative $500 donors will be recognized on the wall of the school. Merci beaucoup!&lt;br /&gt;

  773. I just returned from a trip to Haiti to check on&amp;nbsp;the adult literacy classes we began in June. I was so
  774. completely inspired by how hard those adults are working to learn to
  775. read and write. It is excruciating to see how slowly they learn and to
  776. watch how difficult it is to even form basic letters, but they try so
  777. hard that it is so incredibly inspiring to see them read and write
  778. simple words. The students in the first class have learned 7 consonants and 4 vowels, and add another letter each week. When I visited the class, the students&amp;nbsp;so proudly showed me their homework and the&amp;nbsp;hard work&amp;nbsp;they&#39;ve been doing. A teenage student&amp;nbsp;even wrote me a letter, and&amp;nbsp;although it didn&#39;t make sense, it was full of &quot;words&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

  798. The students follow a literacy program created by a Haitian organization and they learn in their mother tongue, Kreyol, a French-based creole that is heavy on French vocabulary and infused with words from African languages. Kreyol grammar&amp;nbsp;is distinct from French and has strong influences from Africa. The literacy text book&amp;nbsp;includes&amp;nbsp;illustrated sanitation and health&amp;nbsp;lessons such as hand washing,&amp;nbsp;breastfeeding,&amp;nbsp;purifying water, and preventing diarrhea. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  807. Would you like to sponsor a Haitian adult to learn to read and write? It costs $70 for&amp;nbsp;the 7&amp;nbsp;months of instruction, books, and supplies. If interested, you&amp;nbsp;can make a tax deductible donation through this link. Thank you!&lt;/div&gt;

  820. Hurricane Isaac just passed over&amp;nbsp;Haiti, and thankfully, damages were not as catastrophic as during previous hurricanes. Unfortunately, the hurricane destroyed a roof on one of the buildings of our school (Gentille Hirondelle elementary school). We are currently seeking donations to help repair&amp;nbsp;the roof. It is too early to&amp;nbsp;get a quote for work, but I estimate repairs will&amp;nbsp;cost about $2,000. Please use the link below&amp;nbsp;to donate to the roof repair fund or to any of our other projects. &lt;br /&gt;
  821. &lt;br /&gt;
  822. Throughout Haiti, electricity is out at 30 out of 32 generating stations&amp;nbsp;around the country, several thousand homes were destroyed, many crops were ruined, and numerous internally displaced persons (IDPs) still living in tents after the earthquake were once again made homeless. This sounds bad, but things could be worse, and I am thankful that few lives were lost.&lt;br /&gt;
  823. &lt;br /&gt;
  824. Thank you for keeping Haiti in your thoughts and prayers!&lt;br /&gt;

  854. -Major construction of Gentille Elementay is completed&lt;br /&gt;
  855. -Bathrooms were build at the school and I recent sent a water pump so the school will have water for hand washing for the first time&lt;br /&gt;
  856. -My children collected school supplies, including more than 1000 pencils, and stickers that they distributed to the children at the school&lt;br /&gt;
  857. -We began plans to build a science-themed middle school&lt;br /&gt;

  878. &amp;nbsp;Want to help?&lt;br /&gt;
  879. 1. You can sponsor an adult for $70 to attend a 10-month literacy class to learn to read and write &lt;br /&gt;
  880. 2. You can collect gently used children&#39;s books to add to the schools&#39; mini-library&lt;br /&gt;
  881. 3. You can donate any used laptops in working condition (old, slow, small problems ok)&lt;br /&gt;
  882. 4. You can send gently used French books for any age (no sex or violence please)&lt;br /&gt;
  883. 5. You can donate to any of our projects!&lt;br /&gt;
  884. &lt;br /&gt;

  903. &lt;br /&gt;
  904. We have invited the parents of the children at Gentille Hirondelle elementary school to be the first students in our new adult literacy class. Here is a photo from our first meeting with out first class. The first 10-month course will begin this June!&lt;br /&gt;
  905. &lt;br /&gt;
  906. Can you&amp;nbsp;sponsor a Haitian adult to learn to read and write for the first time? The cost is&amp;nbsp;a mere&amp;nbsp;$10 a month to be a continuous sponsor for several students or $70 total for the 10-month course for 1 student. This&amp;nbsp;includes all books and supplies. &lt;i&gt;Although our original&amp;nbsp;idea was to have a&amp;nbsp;one-month course for $30, the 10-month curriculum we decided on for $70 a student is much more longer and more thorough.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  907. &lt;br /&gt;
  908. Literacy is such a valuable gift that we take for granted; can you help share that gift with an illiterate adult? &lt;/div&gt;
