Sister Cities Essex Haiti partners with the people of Deschapelles, Haiti to build community through education, music, and sport. We helped establish the town’s library, which has grown into much more than a building ~ it’s now a true community center, a place of learning, connection, and hope in uncertain times. We also support after-school tennis and music programs that give young people structure, pride, and creative expression. Together, we’re building community from the ground up.
Building and operating a library that provides books, computers, workshops and a study area for students.
Working with early education teachers on the use of manipulatives and other teaching techniques.
Working with musicians to provide quality musical instruments, instruction and exchanges with US musicians.
Supporting the efforts of tennis coaches in Deschapelles to work with children to gain the advantages of learning a competitive sport.
