What an incredibly beautiful country!  The mix of languages here is amazing … The Haitians we have met are so fluid changing from French to Creole and English.  This may be one of the [only] positive outcome of colonialism.

The Mathematics Teacher Training Project in Haiti is officially underway.  Although the in-class training starts tomorrow, we met with the several of the partner groups, NGOs and schools, today for a very productive kick off meeting.  There were several comments throughout the day about the desire of the population here to be educated.  Some families will spend up to 40% of their household income sending a child to school.
