HATS is located in Deschappelles which is almost in the geographical center of Haiti. It is 130 Kms. from the capital and main airport in Port au Prince. It is between St. Marc on the gulf of Gonâve and approximately 100 Kms from the border with the Dominican Republic. The compound is surrounded by rolling hills, rice fields and faces the canal from the hydro dam.

Main compound on left, trees in school compound on right

The 2 story violet (Haitian color is Dignity) building is the boy’s dorm. The second floor is a missionary apartment. The next violet building is the girls’ dorm.

The big green (Tempting Teal) and white building is mission control. The downstairs has 2 offices and kitchen and the living quarters for Karen and Ti Luc.
The second floor is the HATS HILTON and the third floor is an observation deck.
