Chardene (Haiti) — One of our largest schools, with students from preschool through 13th grade, is Chardene. It is a narrow dirt-road drive to Chardene, which is located a few miles off of National Road 1. The school is one of the only ones in the area, so many students walk quite a distance to get there each day. Between the concrete buildings is a large courtyard where the students play competitive games of soccer before and after school, as well as during recess. The Chardene students are known for singing an enthusiastic rendition of “Papa Abraham” which is often requested by visiting team members.
