In the past couple of weeks the entire village has been…..making kites! Kites are a Haitian tradition around Easter. Winds are high and before the rain season conditions are optimal. So - Prodev in partnership with Voila decided to organize a kite festival in the village with a competition for best looking and flying kite.
We had several workshops after school hours in which young people from the village showed children how to build kites. Nearly 50 people registered in advance to participate in the kite competition.
