School is scheduled to open in Haiti on September 5, 2016.

Many Haitian children often end up going to school late due to lack of money in the pockets of the parents.

One Haitian father who lives in a the Centre department of Haiti told us he had to go to the neighboring Dominican Republic to make some money ahead of the opening of the school year because he cannot find any construction jobs in Haiti pay for school for his children.
