About This Lesson
Wadley is just 7 when the world comes crashing down around her. In 2010, Haiti’s catastrophic earthquake destroys her home and school, but it cannot break her irrepressible spirit nor extinguish her thirst to learn, even as she’s turned away from school day after day.
This lesson is part of a collection of topics on Share My Lesson from Girl Rising that work in conjunction. It includes the Wadley video chapter, a teacher guide, background information on Haiti, and an issue fact sheet about Natural Disasters.
