‘Hands up for Haiti’ teaches about inequality

A NEW teaching tool to help primary school children across the country understand the social inequalities that exist between Ireland and Haiti, has been launched in Cork.

The initiative was developed by Irish NGO Haven and was launched last week in St Catherine’s National School on Model Farm Road, Cork.

‘Hands Up for Haiti’ aims to promote an understanding of development issues, and highlight the social inequalities that exist between Ireland and Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
