These photos are of the land that we bought with the money donated by Marietta’s group after the earthquake. The government isn’t opening schools until October . Meanwhile in Matènwa, instead of waiting for school to officially open, this is what we are doing with the children. Over the past 3 weeks they have been working with the students to begin to make soil conservation walls, carry donkey poop, put in posts for fencing in the land to make a large garden this year.
Abner remarked, “All the students were working. I gave them explanations and training on what they were going to do. They carried rocks, they arranged conservation walls, and they have already gathered lots of natural fertilizer as you can see.”
(Mwen espere ou ka jwenn kèk foto mwen voye pou ou , se travay nou kòmanse fè nan tè nou achte bò kay Ana tè LKM nan .Pandan twò semèn nou t ap travay ak elèv yo , kòmanse fè mizèk , bwote kaka bourik , nou deja plante poto pou n bare tè a nèt pou fè gwo jaden pou ane sa. Tout elèv t ap travay: mwen bay yo esplikasyon ak fòmasyon sou travay yo ta pral fè , yo bwote wòch, yo ranje mizèk epi yo gentan pote anpil fimye jan w ap gade la yo.)
