Here, a teacher, Laurent Junior Finance, prepares an activity for the Flag Day celebration at the school.Translation/summary of the video from Haitian Creole to English : The building you see in the background of the video was the original site of the school. That building was rented, but the school is now in its own building about 100 feet away. The school was started by a group known as "Rural People's Coalition of Fayet" which was running adult literacy programs - the group decided that they wanted to provide education for children, so that the children wouldn't be forced to attend adult literacy classes in order to learn reading and writing. The school's name is "Jean Jacques Dessalines Community School in Cabois", or "Ecole Communautaire Jean-Jacques Dessalines de Cabois".
This video shows the second grade class, and then two classes of older students, (the very small class is 3rd-4th grade) entering the new Jean-Jacques Dessalines school.
