The school that Schuylerville built...in Haiti

Schuylerville staff and students raised the funds necessary to build a school in a remote village in Haiti. The photos below highlight the progress toward opening the school.

  • Volunteers in Grande Saline, Haiti scope out the rough land that will be the site of a new three-room school.
  • Rocks are used to form a five-foot deep foundation for the new school, ensuring the structure will be earthquake-proof and flood-proof.
  • Dr. Robinson, one of the volunteers coordinating the construction of a new school in Haiti, sports one of Schuylerville's "Hand in Hand for Haiti" t-shirts.
  • A church basement is being used as a temporary school while the new school in Grande Saline is being constructed.
  • Schuylerville's Laura Delair (pink shirt) poses with some of the Haitian children who will attend a new school made possible by the generosity of our school community.
  • Volunteers dig to a depth of five feet to build a strong foundation for Haiti's new school.
  • Adults from the Haitian villlage of Grande Saline build up the walls of a new school made possible by donations from the Schuylerville community.
  • Children from Grande Saline, Haiiti watch the progress of their new school.
  • Haitian villagers greet Schuylerville's Laura Delair (middle with blue tank top) during her return trip to Haiti in August 2012. Delair delivered more donations and charted the progress of a new school opening.
