November 12 – Exhibition - SOLIDARITES ENFANTS DU MONDE

Today was a very exciting at the school. The exhibition of ‘Art in all of Us’ was displayed at Ecole Nouvelle Zoranje. Buses came with children from other schools that participated in the program. Art work of children from all over the world was presented on posters around the school, the children walked around with their tutors and talked about what they see in the paintings and the meaning of solidarity.

The program also included a puppeteer, a band playing live music with children dancing and a slideshow display of children from all around the world participating in activities.

November 5 –Hurricane Tomas

We spent most of the day yesterday to prepare for the first hurricane of the season to hit Haiti. We moved all stuff from the tents to inside buildings, secured tents and temporary toilets to the fence and ensured nothing will fly in the strong winds expected.

The hurricane has moved on now. While some Haitian cities had floods and strong winds and rain, Zoranje had pretty calm weather. Better safe than sorry J

November 3 – SOLIDARITES ENFANTS DU MONDE

One of our second grade classes had a chance today to participate in a workshop by Fondation Culture et Creation in corporation with ‘Art in all of Us’ (http://www.artinallofus.org/). In the workshop, our kids got a chance to see photographs of children from all around the world, experienced taking photos themselves and discuss the meaning of solidarity around the world.

We are anxiously waiting for the exhibition that will include work by the kids from Ecole Nouvelle  Zoranje side by side with work of kids from other parts of Haiti and many other countries in the world.
