Catherine Flon School

Catherine Flon school is a preschool through 12th grade with over 4, students in Carrefour, Haiti. The school was once a complex of multi-story buildings that served thousands of students each day. Since the January earthquake, it is mostly tents made of two-by-fours and plastic tarps placed wherever there is space, including on top of the former school’s foundation. The Director of the school, Mr. St. Fort, has taken in students even if they cannot pay the tuition. The Rose Foundation purchased a much needed generator for the school, provided funding for new desks, tuition assistance and school supplies. The Rose Foundation will continue the relief effort to help rebuild the Catherine Flon school.

THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION AND HAITI'S FOUNDERS

Camp Gérard (South)

On the road from Les Cayes to Camp-Perrin, Camp Gérard is the location of an important battle during the Revolution, noted by a plaque placed in Near the fort ruins, several buildings: one a ruin, a couple that have been refurbished and are in use, and an étuve. Currently, tobacco production has taken over much of this space.

They were instrumental at every level. One of these eminent women is indeed Catherine Flon. It is imperative to highlight the importance of Catherine Flon in the eyes of Haitian society because it is she who sewed the flag of Haiti on May 18, This act symbolized the identity and history of the Haitian people.
