Sol Spanish School students share their artwork with Haiti



A huge GRACIAS to Gabi Miyashiro and the students of Sol Spanish School  in Honolulu, Hawaii for the creative, colorful, and inspiring art they created for the children their age at Gentille Hirondelle elementary school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  The Haitian children's original school was destroyed in the catastrophic January 2010 earthquake.  Unfortunately, the original school was damaged beyond repair so a new school is slowly being built.  Their new school is made of simple, bare, unpainted cement block walls.  Thanks to these wonderful creations and the sweet messages written in Spanish from Gabi's Spanish students, the Haitian children will have cheerful colors and messages decorating those bare walls of their new school.

And thanks to your generous donations, the roof of the school is currently being built, and the children soon will be able to learn under a roof instead of under the blue tarps that have been their ceiling for the past year.
Gracias Senora Gabi y alumnos! 

Are you inspired by the children and their artwork?  Please consider donating to our project and sharing what we are doing to help Haiti.
