Summits Education: Teachers First
Teachers are the most influential force behind a life changing education. But in Haiti's Central Plateau, 85% of teachers lack basic teaching qualifications and training. Join us as we put #TeachersFirst: summits.org/teachersfirst Summits Education builds education systems to transform the world's most impoverished communities. We start by investing in teachers. //////// Huge thanks to our friends: Directed & Edited by Becca Dobyns Cinematography by Kellen Ryan and Yahna Harris Original Score by John Tyler Norton

Wake up with Flying Kites
In the foothills of the Aberdares Mountains, Flying Kites has built a refuge for orphaned children who have nowhere to turn. Mornings at the home begin before the sun rises, sometimes as early as 5:30 am. All children are provided with the support necessary to pursue a world class education. Sometimes this is something as simple as a hot meal before school, a uniform, and a backpack. Because at Flying Kites we believe in children, and we believe in the power of education. #BelieveWithUs http://www.flyingkites.org

Meet Summits Student Marie Flore
Marie-Flore is a sixth grader at the Summits school in Bernaco, a village surrounded by green, rolling mountains in Haiti's Central Plateau. In some ways, Marie-Flore is a typical Summits student: she is one of many children and her parents live off the land they work as farmers. School is just one of Marie-Flore’s many interests. She’s an eager and curious student and a funny, playful friend and sister. She plays pretend with her friends in the forest and soccer with her siblings. She fetches water and cares for the animals on her family’s farm. Learn more about Marie-Flore and her plans for the future - a future made possible by a strong education: http://bit.ly/2eo8wp5
