Park Dr. Carolle
In June 2001, 4 acres of land was purchased in Boucherau, La Vallee de Jacmel and was named Parc Dr. Carolle by the villagers.

With the help of local authorities and the villagers, the land was graded and includes the only full-scale soccer field in the southeastern region of Haiti.

School Band
La Vallee de Jacmel now boasts a school music band. This is a first in Haiti.

Water Project in Ternier
Matching fund given to build a water reservoir in Ternier, La Vallee de Jacmel.

House for School Custodians
Two classrooms were used to house the custodian at the Lycee Philippe Jules, built by the people of La Vallee. In order to find space to accommodate the other classes, funds were raised to build a small house adjacent to the Lycee.

Latrines Modernization and Toilet Facilities
There are about 750 students and around 50 teachers at the Lycee Philippe Jules. In 1999, there were only antiquated latrines. By 2003, the latrines were refurbished, three modern toilets, two showers, and a water reservoir were added to the facility.

Schools
Four kindergartens including one that now serves a warm meal to the children are now in action.

Teacher Salaries
