From Haiti’s ruins to Mass. schools

Several Massachusetts' schools are taking victims of Haiti's January earthquake so that they can receive an education despite the horrible circumstances they are in. So far, 99 children have enrolled in schools and more are expected in the coming months. In order to make this a successful endeavor, the schools are seeking Haitian-Creole speaking teachers and interpreters to assist these new students in their transition. The immigration status of the students is not being checked; as long as their current parent/guardian can provide a valid license or a document that shows that they are living in the district. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of money to provide for all students but cities are coming together and trying to give these kids a second chance.
