Schools in Cite Soleil.

All of these schools below are in Cite Soleil. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, and Cite Soleil is the poorest and most dangerous slum in the hemisphere. We are not even able to start describing the poverty. One of the things that amazed me the most was how happy these children are. It was said that only 1 in 100 children in Cite Soleil eat every day, yet these children were so grateful, so happy.


This school was by far the worst we saw. It only had 3 walls, and the door was hardly a door. The church that was near by was in worse condition. The roof was scrape metal, and when it rains they have to cancel church since the rain comes right through.


They were trying to pose.....












Drinking clean water!!!!!!




These boys really wanted their picture taken.
