We learned about the economic struggle that Haiti has endured and talked about how many people still do not even have permanent housing and those that do often live in a very small house. We had a space in the back of our room that was approximately the size of one of these houses and that helped the students to be able to conceptualize just how small that space was. I wanted to do a Haiti house project and just came up with an idea one day when kids were throwing away their milk cartons, to put 2 of those together to make one house.

I loved these buses and knew that I had to make a place for them when we were studying Haiti. I was also very happy to find a lesson in the School Arts magazine that gave some suggestions on how to make a simple shape of a Tap Tap bus.
