"
Stefanie Schuler © RFI
Haiti, August 14, 21: an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 on the Richter scale devastates three departments in the southwest of the country.
2,200 die, 13,000 others are injured.
The material damage is also considerable.
Among the buildings that collapsed during the earthquake were many schools.
Immediately after the tragedy, the interim Haitian government made the return of affected children to school one of its "top priorities".
At first, the authorities in Port-au-Prince even maintain the date initially planned for the start of the school year, September 6.
In disaster areas, however, reality speaks a completely different language.
A report shot two weeks after the disaster by Stefanie Schüler, Nicolas Benita and Marc Kingtoph Casimir.

"Blind a tupaïa for science"
Muriel Ballaman © RTS
"It is thanks to animal experiments that some of us are still alive."
Word of a scientist ... Switzerland could however ban these experiments, and with them the sale of drugs tested on animals.
The people will decide the issue this winter.
Opponents of animal experimentation denounce the researchers' lack of transparency.
In their popular initiative, they accuse them of causing unnecessary suffering.
At the University of Friborg in Switzerland, neuroscience research is carried out on animals.
Muriel Ballaman had the opportunity to enter this laboratory.
