The Konbit Pou Potapiman-sponsored remedial classes for kids in grades four, five, and six (Fundamental Years) have concluded. The courses were offered between July 15th and August 15th, 2024, to a restricted group of students (approximately 100) who had narrowly missed their passing mark. Ecole Notre Dame du Rosaire (NDR), Ecole Nationale de Figuiers et Ecole Nationale de Potus were the participating schools. The classes were created to fill in the arithmetic and French learning gaps that the school administrators had found. 

Final evaluations were conducted on Tuesday August 13th and Wednesday August 14th under the guidance of the school directors and the KPP representative, Mrs. Paule Edeline Orcel. The tests were then handed over to the school directors for their decisions. Let’s recall that students who pass the tests have the chance to advance to the next class.

 

Konbit Pou Potapiman expresses gratitude to Sister Jacqueline, Director of the Ecole Notre-Dame du Rosaire, for granting permission to hold the sessions on the school’s grounds   We also appreciate the cooperation and support   of Figuiers, Potus and EFA school administrators.  

Without the combined efforts of the instructors and students who attended the classes, none of this would have been possible. Furthermore, we cannot undervalue the role of the parents who made sure their children attended class on a regular basis 

Konbit Pou Potapiman thanks  Mrs Orcel and the crew for their hard work and dedication in assisting us in reaching this significant milestone.
Konbit Pou Potapiman keeps proving that when we band together and with the support of our contributors, we can make a difference.

On Sunday April 11^th, 2021, the KPP members in Port-a-Piment celebrated the 10^th year Anniversary of Konbit Pou Potapiman.  It was a celebration of pride and of accomplishments.

Under the leadership of the KPP General Secretary, Mrs. Paule-Edeline Orcel, members in Port a Piment organized a well appreciated set of activities to mark this special anniversary.  Accompanied by the local Fanfare, the many school children sponsored by KPP, parents and residents, walked from Avenue du Port to the Notre-Dame du Rosaire Church.  The church was filled to capacity and many others watched the live broadcast on Facebook, courtesy of  Phedo Lubin.

 

 

With fervent prayers and uplifting music by the church choir, all joined in a spirit of unity and of gratitude for the many blessings and successes that KPP has had for the past 10 years.  Reverend Priest Cherfils celebrated the thanksgiving mass.

Mrs. Paule Edeline Orcel took the opportunity to thank all members of KPP as well as the friends from abroad who throughout the years, supported our cause. She cited the various sustainable projects realized by KPP in the commune and spoke  of the ongoing programs, particularly those in the domain of Education. As the ceremony ended, the participants delighted in a parade by the young and energetic marching band. Residents from all corners of the town applauded the display of so many young talents while others, including KPP members, followed the musicians throughout the parade route.

 

 

A reception was held at the Salle Paroissiale for the parents and beneficiaries of  the KPP Sponsorship program, for the school directors, and other invitees. It was the occasion to reinforce the partnership between KPP and the residents of Port a Piment. Refreshments were served and the day ended on this very encouraging note.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we thank the KPP members in Port-a-Piment  for their hard work and motivation to  meet the goals of the organization, 

 

 Happy Anniversary KPP!

10 years ago, on March 11, 2011, our KPP was created. 10 years later, as we look back, a lot has happened in the world and in our beloved Port-a-Piment. We’ve experienced natural disasters after natural disasters up to today’s pandemic. Through it all, our work has continued.

When we initially started writing this article, our intention was to undertake an assessment of our accomplishments for the last 10 years. And also to share with you a video which chronicles our 10 years of existence. Then we realized, no words from us could match the video. As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”. And in this case, we should say a video is worth a “trillion” words. As a result, we decided to let the video talk for us.

On behalf of the people of Port-a-Piment, the Board of Directors of KPP in Port-a-Piment and the US, thank you to all  for your generosity and trust.. Without your support, we would have been unable to achieve all that you made possible in the last 10 years.

Like the song says, “We’ve only just began!”

Hope you enjoy the video, “KPP’s 10th Year Anniversary”:  

                     

 

Thank you!

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the people that we serve Konbit Pou Potapiman wishes you a very Happy New Year.
