Deloyment - Haiti - Rachel-Pi - January 2019

During my last trip to Haiti in August 2019, I was able to change the classroom setup to provide more space per computer. This also allowed space for 6 additional desktops. Each desk has a 6 port C4 Labs Bramble box in the center. I realized a couple days in, that my chairs were not at the school but had been stolen off the shipping container before it was to be released from the dock. Luckily, I found replacements that are much better that the originals.

Unfortunately, school is not in session yet and may not be until January due to the political unrest. The unrest opposition is stating that schools in session are in support of the government, so out of fear and safety, they remain closed. There are groups that can go in and use the class but not as a school function.

I am hoping to go back at the end of December, but the political unrest may prevent travel. I was hoping to spend time with a couple of the teachers that are really anxious to get into the class and learn more. I believe one of them is wanting to transition into running the class on the days the normal instructor is not onsite.
