We exceeded our goal of enrolling 14 students in the 2013-14 school year. In September, we enrolled 22 students. These children were living in a Tent City in Port au Prince when we met them. They range in age from four to 25 (Kindergarten to 12th grade).
In addition, we are sponsoring a tutoring program at Notre Maison Children's Home in Port au Prince. Notre Maison houses 49 children. The tutor, Gabriel, has a full-time job assisting the school children with homework, and he teaches them English after school. Children in Haiti who can learn English have a greater opportunity for employment than those who do not learn English.

This is Gabriel working with some of the children at Notre Mainson Children's Home. The children call him Papa. He is a kind and patient person, trained in sociology. The children are so blessed to have him as their "papa."

When I hear about the Haitian people like Gabriel, Robinson, Camilla and Gertrude I see how much they care and love their own people and their country. I am glad we are able to be supportive of their efforts. They have such passion!
