What a day! Friday, September 21, 2018
This marks a very important date for the residents of Jabouin: the inauguration of their very own Community School! Children smiling, laughing, and learning in a safe environment! What a beautiful sight! Members of the community as well as of KPP, Parents, Teachers coming together to celebrate this important achievement!
The school was built by BuildOn, an international NGO, in cooperation with the local community and with the support of Konbit Pou Potapiman.
The celebration was festive, and included 112 children who will now use a new facility which is safer and more suitable.
We are very proud of the school because we believe that Education is the first step out of poverty.
Our heartfelt thanks go to: the BuildOn organization
our generous Donators and
the people of Jabouin who worked on this project.
It’s official.
“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip Toe if you must, but take the step.”
This quote brings back memories how this whole project started. With limited funds from pledges made by our loyal supporters, we took a leap of faith and started the project. We took the small step and tip toed by setting a date to break ground. We knocked on many doors and BuildOn answered our call. This is a dream come true with immeasurable possibilities. We know It takes more than a building to develop a great mind, but what a start! And with the right environment, who knows? doctors, senators, teachers, engineers, scientists, builders, president, merchants…
What a dream! Or should I say, what a vision! Great things happen with dreamers with a vision. Also, with people willing to take the step. Our efforts must continue. We need to make sure the school has our support to help create the right environment to produce great citizens. And with great citizens the community, our country, and the world stand a chance for a better future.
We need your help. Other communities need our help. Help us take the next small step by contributing to:
