As part of the purpose of the Bruner Memorial Scholarship Program, 3 representatives will visit Gran Ravine, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to meet with the program managers, the school personnel and the 100 students. Our grass-roots program managed by community volunteers--The Community Human Rights Council- CHRC-, designed as the most important need--education for the most in need children--of the community, is now in its 6th year.
The plan is to do visits to each of the four schools and to hold a celebration party with all the students at one school. We will provide drinks and snacks as they tell us how their education program is going. We have had two such visits: one in 2011 Click to see video and another in 2013 with Kablaya, author of "Haiti Rise!", Click to see video Scroll to bottom to see video of Kablaya teaching our children his song.
One special purpose of the visit will be to bring money to Nicole Dilhomme, a core member of the program who has been stricken with total body paralysis and has no support. Nicole was a beginning member of the Community Human Rights Council of Gran Ravine in 2005 and has volunteered since the beginning of the scholarship program. Anyone wishing to contribute to her health expenses may send a check to HHE with Nicole in the memo to HHE P.O. Box 8975, Emeryville, Ca 94662. Or go to PayPal.
