History School of Fondwa

We started to build the School in 2000 with the financial  help of  an  international  non-profit organization based in Haiti   ( Fokal, " The Open Society").

They helped us to build  3 classrooms  plus  one room for  the direction and another room for storage.  At  that time, we needed 17 classrooms for our 725 students and 35 teachers. In 2001, we did get some other help to make the  walls for  5 other classrooms, but there was no roof on the top of  those classrooms. It was a big  pain for our students and for all of us who are trying to help them getting access  to a very good  education in Fondwa. This is where we came out with the "Roof Project" for the School of Fondwa.

Easter  2002, was a very gracious and a very blessed time for us.

We did have some religious organizations including Abinding Hope, which have helped us to finance the construction of the roof of our School in Fondwa.

School St. Antoine: in December 2006, the 2006-07 academic year second semester evaluations went well, and the positive results allowed the start of classes in January 2007. The only problem we had was paying the professors’ salaries for the months of November and December. This worried many of the professors, and morale was especially low, during the holiday season. We want to extend our gratitude to Rich and Kathy as they helped resolve this problem very quickly. 

The school cafeteria: it’s operating well, unfortunately, I did not have enough time to gather all the details on the cafeteria before this meeting. 

I’ll try to send you the information as soon as I can. I can tell you that the school hosted a very successful end-of-the-year party and a reception with food for all the participants. We also had 2 Family Health Ministries friends, David and Elizabeth, who took photos of the occasion.

School St. Antoine water project: During these past months, the engineer stopped working on the water project because there were several things he wanted to do at the same time as purchasing the water pump—installing the pump while pouring the concrete on the reservoir and putting the water in the cistern immediately, as a cistern will break if it does not have water in it. There were problems transporting the materials as APF did not have the means to transport the materials. Since the beginning of October, however, APF has had access to a camion truck which has solved the transport problem. 

The engineer started work on the school water system in December. The work is now almost finished.
