On November 23, 2018 seven members of the Parisot Foundation traveled to Jacmel, Haiti to view the progress of the school construction. We were pleased to see three buildings which were close to completion! 

The first floor of the school is completed. Over 100 kindergarten through 6th grade students have attended the school over the past 3 years. The 2021-2022 school year was completed without interruption from Covid or political issues. Our goal is to add a second floor in order to accommodate the waiting list of students.

 

The Parisot School is taking shape!  The construction of the first floor buildings is now completed.   The work was very manual and the heat is exhausting.  We are grateful to have had hard working local laborers employed to build the school.

In July 2017 construction of the Parisot School began in Jacmel, Haiti.  There were 13 laborers working 6 days per week to build the school.  All work is done manually so it is a slow, time consuming process.  We are pleased that all workers are from Jacmel.  A goal of the Parisot Foundation is to help support the local economy.
