Making English happen in Cité Soleil

Tony!  The man who said, "Yes, I'll teach there."

Vicki's Vision English classes have been gathering in Cité Soleil for four months now.  There are between 50 and 60 students that attend classes three times a week to learn English.  

Wiki tells us: Cité Soleil (Haitian Creole: Site Solèy; English: Sun City) is an extremely impoverished and densely populated commune located in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area in Haiti. Cité Soleil originally developed as a shanty town and grew to an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 residents, the majority of whom live in extreme poverty.^[1] The area is generally regarded as one of the poorest and most dangerous areas of the Western Hemisphere and it is one of the biggest slums in the Northern Hemisphere. 


I can tell you that the kids attending our English classes plan to change their future.

Advances in Port Salut Haiti

Entrance exam finished... day two learning the words for all the things in town... day three classroom.

Port Salut learns English! 

Vickisvision English in Port Salut!

We are making it happen in Port Salut! Vickisvision English classes started yesterday. Today their task was to walk the streets of Port Salut and learn all the words of the things they saw on the street. Good thing it was day two because on day one they had to take an entrance exam to see just how much they knew to begin with. Guervens Vilmenay is the new teacher rockin' Port Salut. Proof once again that English is a valuable skill! I'm so very proud that the Future Leaders of Haiti are growing by leaps and bounds! GO PORT SALUT!

History

Each of us can work to change a small portion of events and then the total of all those acts will be written in history. Tomorrow my Guervens Vilmenay will travel 5 hours from his home to teach English to 54 more students in Port Salut.

We are all so proud of you!

This is the English class that a couple of the "Future Leaders of Haiti" are now teaching.  This picture is proof that "Each on teach one" works! 

Showing the way for the "Future Leaders of Haiti"

Mackenzy, Jivenson, Elie, Jhonny. Four Bio-Medical students on their journey to become the Future Leaders of Haiti. Next week they will travel to Pignon. Once again their guardian angel has made it possible for them to travel many miles from home. I am sending a special thank you to God and their guardian angel and RotaryHaitiBioMed. This has been a two year journey for these guys and in a couple months they will graduate and truly become Haiti's Future Leaders!
