St. James’ School ("Ecole St-Jaques") in Haiti is situated in a remote area of northern Haiti, near the border of the Dominican Republic, a 12-hour journey by road from the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The school has approximately 120 students ages 5 through 14. The Head of School and three other teachers cover the four classes taught at St-Jaques. Students, the children of subsistence farmers, come from the surrounding area and often walk many miles each way to get to the school, a plastic tarp supported by four poles in the middle of a cleared area. A group from St. James' Los Angeles visited the area in Spring 2008 but was unable to reach the school owing to heavy rain which rendered the roads impassible. We met the Head of School and several students who had hiked for three-and-a-half hours to meet us. They are delighted to be partnering with us. We expect this to be a beneficial and educational relationship for both schools and hope that families from St. James' Los Angeles will visit St. James' in Haiti 2010.
