YEAR #9: This year, #9, we were pressured to reduce our scholarship program from 4 schools, 100 children, to 1 school and 50 children. Difficulties raising enough funds and continued violence threats forced us to reduce. Click massacre in our news updates section.
- We continued our HHE program at St. Mary Magdalene Classical Center--one of the 4 schools since year #1. This school is in the inner-city, violent section of the Capital, Port-Au-Prince, Grand Ravine. We added 30 students to the usual 20 at St. Mary Magdalene and the year #9 started off well. Principal Haïle Noël, with us from the beginning continues with us now.
- We certainly want to tell our previous schools how much they were important. We did give them a year's notice of our forced reduction. Click on picture to see it with caption. Then click on arrow to move to following pictures.
- St. Mary Magdalene is a school of St. Bernadette Parish in the neighboring zone of Martissant, Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.
- With this project we continue to nurture mutual sharing of our lives as faith-filled people, concerned with promoting dignity and human rights in the areas of reducing child enslavement, violence, and poverty in Haiti. We are sad not to be able to continue with 100 scholarships and four schools.
