Open Doors of ESMONO
Open school doors? Yes, of course, BUT - NOT for thieves!

Project Overview
Donations are for installation of bars on ESMONO's gates and school doors, which are currently open and accessible to the public, which hasn't bothered anyone so far. Due to increasing gang violence, numerous people have been displaced from the capital. Many fled up the valley, seeking shelter in and around ESMONO. All sorts of things—brooms, school supplies, and much more—are being stolen. So regular and safe classes cannot take place.

Locked doors and windows in the ESMONO - how should one imagine this?
Here, in this country, it is common for us to lock our residential buildings with triple- or quadruple-glazed windows and security doors.
In other countries, the standard is usually lower. In Haiti, the situation is quite different. The wealthy have windowpanes, and thus also fans or air conditioning. In contrast to here, the four seasons differ only very minimally.
Houses in the regions where the ESMONO is located have paneless windows (slits) to let in light and air. At best, these are barred for security.
The small (first) school, which Otto Hegnauer had built, has had iron doors and window grilles on the ground floor for some time; today, it houses the library (from Switzerland), the kindergarten, and the young primary school students.
The following video shows what these grilles and doors look like. The openings in the larger school building above should also look like this; we are collecting them here on this platform.
Time is running out, and there's still a long way to go before we reach our final destination on August 2nd at 7 a.m.
Thank you very much for all your support.
