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, advance long-term solutions around Education in Haiti, contact authors/publishers with open hearts, and start translating!

Join our Collaboration Space:
