Haiti's post-earthquake tent cities house many willing students but lack accessible education. Alzire Rocourt has a passion for teaching. Working with nothing but her sweet voice, an old chalkboard and some cardboard posters, Rocourt teaches Haitian children about the music of Chopin, Beethoven and other classical composers. "School has become for them the way to hope," she said.

@xssully67x "Please learn how to spell before you spew your ignorance."

I was born and i live in a non-english speaking nation.I can speak english, italian, spanish and a bit of french, and i do understand (altough i cant speak very easy) russian and german. When you will be able to write your comments to me in my own language, with no grammar errors, then you can say i'm ignorant.

Until then you are just a stupid guy that is insulting people just because you dont have arguments.

Booo ! :)

Haiti is a lost cause. No matter what you/they do, it will never be enough. They ruined all the resources, the forests and the reefs. They have way way too many people, about have of them need to check off the planet. There is nothing you can do for them that can ever get them self sufficient. That country has been in the crap since at least the 50's.
