THANK YOU for sponsoring the buildOn school in Perigny, Haiti. With your help, buildOn is breaking the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and education.

The new school block in Menard has 3 classrooms made with a poured concrete floor, cinderblock walls reinforced with rebar, and a corrugated metal roof. The project broke ground on June 24, 2013, and was completed on September 1, 2013. Community members provided a combined 1,451 volunteer workdays and completed construction ahead of schedule. Students began attending classes in their new school in October 2013.

“We have learned a lot about buildOn’s methodology. We have also learned to get together not only as one family but also to discuss other issues than schooling. It reinforces our cohesion as a group and strengthens our bond to solve our problems by listening to each other. ” - Manite Perrin, community member, age 22.
“I would like to congratulate buildOn and the Perigny’s older students who have worked hard to make this happen. I would like to use this opportunity to thank the donor for this beautiful building. I hope we will be able to get another school when the school enrollment increases so all our children will have better place to study. ” - Edeline Augustin, community member, age 26.
