The School Provides Hope

Many families in Haiti cannot afford to provide an education for their children. There is no free education in this country. After I completed my elementary education I became depressed in my life.  I went back to High school to gain a better education and God sent a missionary my way to pay for my tuition. Another one gave me a place to  stay and daily food to eat until I could find my  way in life.






The School Today

It is because of this experience that I fully understand the need that many children have for an education and this led me and my wife, Guermanie, to start a school with only 12 children in 2003. The school has grown each year and this year we have 200 children. We lost some students last year because their parents could not pay for the tuition. We would like to build more classrooms so that we do not turn away children who want to come to our school. We would also like to provide a recreational place with a nice playground for the children to have fun with their friends as they learn how to live in Community. We would like to reach thousands of children in the school in the coming years.

Mercy and Compassion for Children

The name of the school is Bethesda, which means “mercy and compassion.” We enroll students from Preschool to 6th grade. We would like to expand to the 9th grade once more financial assistance is available. The school is highly esteemed in our Community and considered one of the best schools in Madeline, Cap-Haitian, Haiti. It costs $250 US/year to send a child to our school with $25.00US/month. Due to the economic situation in Haiti, many parents are unable to pay for their children’s education, food and health needs. Sometimes providing even the basic needs for children is a big challenge in Haiti while those in other countries take for granted all they have to enjoy life with gratitude of heart to the Creator.

Teaching Children about Jesus

I remember that I had many trials in my life as I was gaining an education until I met Jesus and some missionaries paid for my education. By the grace of God, our Father, I pray that God will touch lives and inspire more friends like you with compassion to take some positive action by reading this message and testimony and give you a desire to bless more people and especially children with joy and hope with your love and generosity. This is my motivation and passion and service in Christ.


Feeding the Children

At Bethesda school the parents must pay for their child's tuition and provide uniforms for them. We used to feed the children at school because many of the children do not have sufficient food at home but we are unable to provide meals for them at this time. School is a place which they enjoy and this gives us the opportunity to make them feel special and loved, as we show them God's love and teach them about Jesus. The Bible is a subject that is taught just like math, French, and English and we teach them Christian songs.

Chapel Times

The children in Bethesda School go to the chapel each Monday and Friday to have devotions and to learn about Jesus. Then the teachers teach the Bible as a subject as part of their school curriculum. Many children have been given their life to Christ in school, then they begin going to church to gain spiritual maturity.
