MARCH 2020
March 11
The team at College Canapé-Vert continue to record
Lessons from the 25 Modules for first-years students in the 243-page textbook, Mon Livre Unique, authored by Madame Marie-Marthe Balin Franck Paul. Mon Livre Unique serves 110,000 across Haiti each year.
Sticking Up For Children received eight more recordings of Lessons from chief engineer Raphael Lijinsky early this month. Madame Paul reports that the team of six
(Claude Bernard Sérant of Le Nouvelliste not pictured below) expect to finish the textbook's 25 Modules by June. Congratulations to them! They're wonder-workers
in the difficult and deprived city of Port-au-Prince.
Next September, audio and text for mobile phones will
be available to make universal literacy possible across Haiti.
The Team recording Lessons at College Canapé-Vert--Viergela Jeannot Jean, Marie Marthe B. Franck Paul, Lijensky Raphaël, Mona Messeroux Philippe, and Natacha Desmangues Romage.
Students at École Foyer Espoir in Delmas of Port-aud-Prince have completed three weeks of exams, catching
up from the three months they lost due to highly justifiable protests' "lockdown" of schools last Autumn.
They and staff such as Principal Jonathand Saintiné
work very hard.
See below some of the EFE students' enthusiasm. It's
easy to believe that such energy can succeed at any improvement.

Each will be enhancing to students as they learn and imagine.

In California we also got to spend time with distance-running buddy and 3D-printing expert Brock Hinzmann
and with Chef Paul Canales of Oakland's Duende. Both
have supported SUFC over years. We visited Harrison Chastang of the mighty KPOO in San Francisco Saturday morning, talking and playing tracks over two hours.
KPOO plays a hugely eclectic range of music throughout its weekly schedule.
On Thursday, March 5 SUFC participated in the City Council of New Orleans declaring its Proclamation of Germaine Bazzle Day in the city. Germaine--musician,
educator, example--thoroughly deserves such honors.
You can see more about her on another page of this site.
Family and friends of Germaine Bazzle gathered in the City of New Orleans Council's chambers for
her Day, March 5, 2020. Lead sponsor Kristin Gisleson Palmer and Helena Moreno, Jay Banks, and
