Meet Ybens. He's a future leader of Haiti! Ybens is my youngest student. During my visit to see my students we shopped at the local street market. Ybens was our head chef. He loves cooking and spent several hours cleaning fruits and veggies to prepare a delicious meal for us. Ybens is a serious student and one day hopes to be a great chef in Haiti! If you would like to help Ybens become a chef or would like to send him a message of encouragement send me an email at vickisvision@gmail.com |
Vicki’s Vision is guided by some basic, yet demanding principles. I do not give time, energy, assistance or money blindly to those who ask. Rather, I attempt to instill a sense of pride, personal growth, creativity and ownership in the students who express a committed interest in making their lives better. I measure success by how my investments have changed a single individual and by extension their family. It is my sincere hope that my efforts outlast and preserver far beyond my mortal life.

Future Leader - Ybens
Future leader - Jameson
Meet Jameson, indeed he's a future leader of Haiti. Jameson is/was my first teaching assistant in Haiti. When I met Jameson we barely could communicate in English. A year later we can't stop talking to each other! During our class, Jameson is my eyes and ears in the classroom. He takes attendance, interprets information that I am trying to explain to the students, fixes the broken computer and printer, grades quizzes and offers encouragement to both myself and the students that attend class. Jameson will be traveling to the United States to attend the City University of New York, working towards a degree in Computer Science. After Jameson graduates he will be returning to Haiti to use his skills to rebuild his country. Jameson has never left Haiti and is excited to learn about the American culture. If you would like to offer financial support to Jameson or just a letter of encouragement send me an email at vickisvision@gmail.com |

Future Leader - Waldy
Meet Waldy, his mother, father, brother and sister. They live in Delmas 33. Waldy's father is a tailor and his mother a business woman, that sells food products on the streets of Port au Prince. Waldy was one of 200 students who were selected to go to medical school in Haiti. The school, by American standards is very inexpensive but for Waldy's family it's very expensive. They must pay $1800 a year. When I was in Haiti I was telling him about student loans, which of course they don't have in Haiti. So I though I would try to see if I could find a sponsor for him in the United States that would pay his $1800. He'd be happy to make a contract with you to pay it back when he graduates. If you are interested, please contact vickisvision@gmail.com Let's make sure this future leader of Haiti can pay for medical school.

We've got a plan!
"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much." Jim Rohn, Entrepreneur, Author, Motivational Speaker
Empty wallets will pay for school
Let's begin! When I arrive in Delmas 33, I'll be delivering the tools to begin a venture with my 4:00 students. We have hatched a plan to make money that will be used to pay for tuition for our class. Although English classes are free continuing education in Haiti is not free. Keep watching our blog and soon you will be able to buy leather wallets, coin purses and business card holders handmade by the 4:00 class.
