Earlier this year-'A School Like Mine'

In a gesture of generosity and compassion for the people of Haiti, the children of Pappankalan have shared this week further to one of my classes, in the project A school like mine the idea of contributing in thoughts and images with their friends of Haiti during this time of great sorrow.

I know Haiti well and have worked there in the past. Haiti has a special place in the heart of all French Canadians for being the only other country in the Americas that share our culture and language. This community is well established in Montreal and in exile for most of them. Being known as the poorest island in the western hemisphere, I am sadden to see such destruction afflicting Haiti and I know that the task of reconstruction ahead is phenomenal.

I just wanted to share these drawings with you all so that together we can in thoughts of love and compassion contribute in creating a positive energy for those who have lost everything in Haiti
