Beth is an educator with a passion for literacy. She got involved in Haiti because she saw the opportunity to improve education in Haiti, if only in a few schools. Typically, Haitian education is a system of memorization and rote learning. PEACE Project with Beth's leadership will introduce methods that develop higher level thinking and creative problem solving. The students will be challenged to use their education to help the community in practical ways.
