Let's think outside the box!
I've been saying that we need to change how the kids are taught in Haiti since I started teaching there. They have thousands of kids from 5 to 25 who are at so many different levels. Some have never attended school, some have gone to school for a year or two or maybe only a few months. We need to gather them up and teach them at their level regardless of their age. We need to teach vocations to the kids who are 12 and older. Skip the well rounded education, help them get skills that they can use to get a job. If we can't teach them skills that will help them get a job... 10 years from now Haiti will be full of young adults that have never been to school and have no employable skills. What will be left for them? Begging or thieving. Annie and I have hatched a plan! GPSI-Haiti is on it's way kids!
