11/24/2016.– Hurricane Matthew had not spared the schools in Port-a-Piment. All the schools have been severely damaged with the exception of the “Lycée de Port-a-Piment” which is still being used as a shelter.
The schools were not equipped to reopen on November 7th as proposed by the Board of Education. All basic materials had been destroyed or were missing. Upon learning of the problems, KPP took some action by contacting the schools’ directors and obtaining an inventory of needed materials; KPP hired 15 workers to clean up the “Ecole Notre Dame du Rosaire” of the debris left by Hurricane Matthew .
KPP also ordered blackboards, desks and student desks for all the schools including the “Ecole Mixte de Jabouin”.
As of today, 6 out of the 8 schools have reopened their doors and most students are now able to attend classes.
KPP thanks all of its contributors for their generosity and support. Your donations are making a difference in the commune of Port-a-Piment.
