A school recess in the countryside of Haiti is a lively and heartwarming scene. As the bell rings, children rush out of their classrooms, eager to enjoy their break. The schoolyard comes alive with the sounds of laughter and playful chatter. Teachers stand at the periphery, watchful but allowing the children this precious time of free play. The air is filled with a mix of Creole and French, a linguistic dance reflective of Haiti's rich cultural heritage.
