Vicki's Vision English classes have been gathering in Cité Soleil for four months now. There are between 50 and 60 students that attend classes three times a week to learn English.
Wiki tells us: Cité Soleil (Haitian Creole: Site Solèy; English: Sun City) is an extremely impoverished and densely populated commune located in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area in Haiti. Cité Soleil originally developed as a shanty town and grew to an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 residents, the majority of whom live in extreme poverty.[1] The area is generally regarded as one of the poorest and most dangerous areas of the Western Hemisphere and it is one of the biggest slums in the Northern Hemisphere.
I can tell you that the kids attending our English classes plan to change their future.
