The government of Haiti is trying to get it’s children back to school at the moment – and hitting problems. Not only are many children spread far & wide to escape their devastated homes, but the open areas around schools have become the site of many IDP camps where people are living at the moment. This means that the long term future of some of Haiti’s children is threatened further by the reduced opportunity for education – this little girl would rather be in school than living as she does today.
But she’s one of the lucky ones, at least her family has received shelter. These two young girls were less fortunate and appear to have been living without any real support since they lost their family. They have now been taken to shelter and fed properly.
The message seems clear – right now these children are facing a fight for their survival which must take priority. But at the same time if they do not manage to get their schools back open soon and begin to progress through their education, then their future may prove to be as bleak as their present.
