This is definitely a topic thats close to me so Im happy that you wrote about it. Im also happy that you did the subject some justice. Not only do you know a great deal about it, you know how to present in a way that people will want to read more. Im so happy to know someone like you exists on the web.

Seeing you and your message from Haiti I feel hard to express my respects for your contributions to the humanitarian cause and especially for children “the anchors that hold mothers to life”. I am glad to have met you personally in Islamabad, Pakistan in the cluster meetings. Charlotte, I would highly appreciate you and Save the children and like to know anything that i could possibly do from Pakistan to help our Haitian children in any way.

Dear Penny,

Thank you so much for your message. We really are encouraged to know that there are people like you and your daughter who are looking for ways in which you can do more. While we appreciate your offer, Save the Children is unable to support volunteers in emergency settings, as these require the technical qualifications, experience and the full training needed to working in difficult, high-risk environments.

We do hope that you continue to take an interest in our education work and that you follow our response in Haiti. Our team of education experts are on the ground, working extremely hard in collaboration with the national government, many other NGOs and UN agencies to make sure we are reaching as many children as possible who are missing out on school. They will be encouraged to hear of your support.

With warm wishes,
The Education Team

Dear Charlotte

It really is hard sitting in London to realise how bad it must be on the ground in Haiti. Thanks for the updates, its heart warming to hear about the kids that want to get back to education. Keep up the good work, we miss you back home.

Dear Charlotte

My daughter and I would like to come out for June, July and August if there was any way we could help with educational support. I am a writer/workshop leader and work in schools. My daughter is a newly qualified primary teacher. We have lived and worked in Zimbabwe and Senegal. Is there any kind of structure now that we could offer our time too? many thanks for your time and hope you’re managing to re build moments of education again for some young people. Warm wishes Penny Rae

Dear Charlotte,

So sad to note the devastating effects of the earthquake on children and their education. I agree with you 100%, rebuilding the education system amongst many others must be a top priority and of utmost importance to all at whatever cost. Greater investments in the education of this generation of children will gurantee childrens brighter and dignified future, a better Haiti- and consequently a better Globe!! Ride on

Hi Charlotte – thank you for posting. It’s difficult to picture what it’s like over there and how children are feeling (especially about going back to school), but your blog really brings it closer to home. We’ve so much work to do but it’s fantastic that education is getting a look in now as it is so deserves. Please take care and keep up the good work and morale!
