Schooling at Hands Across the See – HATSHAITI

October 6, 2020 Posted by Karen Huxter 1 Comment

HATS-Haiti’s school IMKH is very active. Our school started again in August, but not for the new school year 2020-2021. The Haitian government decided, due to the closure caused by Covid-19, that first some work must be done to complete the year 2019-2020. The students will receive their report cards this coming week. Registration for the 2020-2021 year’s schooling, along with a great deal of preparation for this next year, is now underway. School classes will start again in a couple of weeks.

The grade 9 students and the graduating class, grade 13, of the ‘just completed year’, must write the governmental exams this week and next. My eldest child at HATS, JJ (Jean Jacques) will be writing his government exams for his grade 13 and graduation. Upwards and onwards for this fine outstanding young man. This mama is proud of her big boy.

Thank you very much to all sponsors of a student/students at our school, IMKH, at our mission HATS-Haiti. If you are already helping a student with their education as a sponsor you are playing a very important role in the life of the student and their family. If you have forgotten to donate for your student for the 2020-2021 school year, it would be very helpful if you could do so. Thank you.

    Those sweet little faces looking at me today make me smile. I will miss seeing them at the school and watching them play and perform for me when they see me watching. The older students are ready to go on with life…where will this education take them? They have been blessed to get this education and it will take them places they would not get if they had not been sponsored and worked hard. Life is hard in Haiti and I wish them all well.
