An Israeli organization has set up a temporary school in Haiti.

A delegation in Port-au-Prince from the Natan Israeli Coalition for International Humanitarian Aid set up the school in a large tent in coordination with the Haitian government and the Dominican Republic.

Children searched through the rubble and found chalkboards, books and notebooks for the school, according to an Israeli news site.

The organization recruited teachers in the camps set up for homeless Haitians following the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. The teachers were trained in how to deal with the children’s traumas. — jta
