Chez Moi’s Security Wall Reconstruction

Cost: $14,000.00
September 20, 2011 part of the security wall fell during the night from a heavy storm, making the property unsafe for use.  ARCF staff made the decision to move the children temporarily.  Now that the wall has successfully been repaired, the children have been able to return safely back to Chez Moi.
The rebuilding of the wall project was funded by: Edward V. Boria and the Mathurin Family.

The Catholic Mission Trips International

The CMT mission group is coming to ARCF’s property in Custine, Cavaillon Haiti this July with 20 men (10 fathers and their sons). They will begin the initial construction of our elementary school. They are fundraising money toward the project which will greatly benefit the children and the community. Father Lampy will generously provide the lodging for them at the LaJemmerais School in Custine. Fifteen thousand dollars (15,000.00) is needed to help fund this project and to accommodate them for 2 weeks. For the fall season of 2012 we would like to utilize this facility for the children.

Fact Finding Mission

Ms. Kristen Kushner, an educator in Orlando, Florida is planning to make her first trip to Haiti in June. She will be visiting Custine to meet the children as well as the local community. While there she will also visit the future site of the Soveyo Village Community Project. Ms. Kushner has great interest in educating the youth of Haiti. As a teacher in Orlando many of her students are from Haiti or of Haitian descent. Through this experience with her students she has developed an understanding of their culture and a desire to participate in the rebuilding of Haiti. Accompanying her will be David Jessup, a fellow educator with experience in the non-profit sector.
