Schools added and a glimpse of costs in 2008.

Attached is a photo of a map that gives the best detail I have seen on any map in Haiti but could not find one to buy. This will help you get an idea where some of school locations are and where we are looking to expand. If you double click on the map it should expand so you can read the locations.
4 schools added... Our first addition is in Bainet which is 10 miles from Bas Frontal closer to the coast. Looking at the map you will see Jacmel on the south coast. If you go straight to the left of Jacmel and along the cost about an inch you will see Bainet. Our second school added is Baie Orange.. This is on the highway towards our Thiotte school.. This is where the their houses are made of straw. I have been in the region several times and the need is desperate there. Our third location is Anses a Pitres which is past our Thiotte location at the bottom right of the country as you look at the map right on the Dominican boarder. Our FOURTH addition is in City Soleil which is the most dangerous part of Haiti. This is a part of Port au Prince. I feel if we can give them hope for their future in this area with this hope for the future the violence will subside.
