The event was organized by the National Alliance for the Advancement of Haitian Professionals (NAAHP) and featured many notable, inspiring speakers, including the Haitian Ambassador to the US Paul Getty Altidor, MA Senator Linda Dorcena Forry, former Massachusetts State Representative Marie St. Fleur, and many more.

Its been a while since we've posted an update but things are continuing to move forward! The most exciting update has been the opening of a school in Port au Prince through our partnership with INFOSTI. We are offering a variety of computer classes (IT, networking, graphic design, etc), Microsoft Office, administrative and business management classes, as well as language courses - including English. These classes are offered in alignment with our goal to improve computer literacy and the leveraging of technology for the benefit of society in Haiti. Pictured here are the three members of our team who have spearheaded the opening of the school, our partner Mr. Delece, and a few of our students.

Last week, Code For Haiti expanded its partnership with INFOSTI, the local computer lab which has been hosting our seminars, and today work began on renovating / updating the building! We plan to expand the existing computer lab into an online / computer school here in Port au Prince in the coming months! We are very excited to offer IT, computer networking, business software, Microsoft Office and other computer classes we offer in alignment with our mission to improve computer literacy and to leverage technology for the benefit of the local community.
