Lèkol Toupatou is the fulfillment of a life's work by Madame Marie Marthe Balin Franck Paul. Since age 17
Madame Franck Paul has taught School in Haiti. Since
1974 she's been Principal of College Canapé-Vert in Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince. She's also been Mayor of this city (1986-1988) and Secretary of Education for Haiti. Her 243-page textbook for first-year students, Mon Livre Unique (see above) is the basis for the audio and video of Lèkol Toupatou / School Everywhere.

Le Nouvelliste and Canal Haiti are among the media in Haiti that have profiled Madame Franck Paul since 2015.

Madame Franck Paul's greeting to students and parents this year said: "The good news is that now School can come to you! In any Department, or Section, or Commune of Haiti, you can receive the education that will give you the powers that come with literacy. You can learn to read and write four languages—our Haitian Kréyol, and French, and even English and Spanish.

All people, wherever you are, know the joy that School will come to you!"

You can hear SUFC's Maryse Philippe Déjean read her aunt's Greetings on Bandcamp. This 'album' on Bandcamp also presents the likewise great David Amram recalling (in French) Jack Kerouac's reciting of Victor Hugo. On Bandcamp, too, you can hear David play several instruments of the Caribbean and Latin America for students in Haiti and hear him talk about the uplifting meeting between two historically major drummers, Max Roach of the U.S. and Ti RoRo of Haiti.
