[Olpc-Haiti] Kreyol language books from publisher Educa Vision, Inc

[Marilyn Pratt]

This is such excellent news Geraldine.  How inspiring that all of you are such movers and shakers.   I am very acquainted with the challenges of finding age appropriate materials for children that have undergone trauma having lived in a war torn country and raising 5 kids there, but I wonder in the list that I sent Carmina if we might find people with those skill sets because professional counselors and local educators might have a better handle on type of content that would be most helpful.  Geraldine and Carmina, let me know if you need any help contacting those http://newhaitaproject.com/ning members.
I beleive there were a good number of social workers and educators there.
How wonderful that you were able to get this treasure trove.

        Hello team,



        Just received a phone call from Mr. Fequiere Vilsaint, the publisher of Educa Vision Inc. books http://www.educavision.com/. He has agreed to supply our project with age-appropriate kreyol language material (90% of which he owns the rights to). Once he sends me his catalog, along with which titles are available electronically, I will pass that information along.  I will need help from one or two other team mates in reviewing the catalog and choosing the content that best fits this project. This is a treasure trove people! I am so excited he's jumping on board with us.



        Till then,



        GZ
