Haitian Creole Translation for Education

Translation Community

Our Haitian Creole translation community starts with Haitian Americans helping Haitians now rearchitecting education for a new Haiti. We began in NYC and Boston Crisis Camps in January 2010, but all are welcome to join, recruit Creole speakers you know, and start translating!
