Haitain Educational Aid and Resources (HEAR)

HEAR is happy to have another candidate in the pipe line for acceptance at Concordia University in Portland.

Natacha Verly is ready to enroll in the Spring, if the living funds are in place for her to come to Portland. Natacha 

The schools of Business has accepted her into their MBA program for 2018.

On another note, Marie Michele will be graduating in December 2017, a semester earlier than expected. She is a very motivated young lady who spends a few days a week volunteering as a Spanish teacher for adults in a local school.

She is also developing plans with our team to build a school in the out skirts of Croix des Bouquets, Haiti. when she returns. She is looking for an internship in school administration for 2018, so that she can put into practice what she has learned over the past 18 months.

Thank you for your continued support for this program. Your donations go directly to the students to help them with their living expenses. Our goal is to raise $6,000 per student per year. Please think big when considering how you might help us meet the needs of our students.

In addition to our work with CU Portland, we continue to work with the Univesity of Portland Shiley School of Engineering where we have our third team of senior capstone students working on our kiln modifications. These teams have been a true blessing to our team and we look forward to what they will develop in the coming year. We would like to raise $2500 for their continued work and to help with its implementation.

Finally, during the past year we have been developing a relationship with Universitie Notre Dame d'Haiti, whose president Msgr Pierre Andre Pierre, is interesting in not only sending promising students to our program in Portland, but also having his students intern at our factory and farm in Boucantis and Benico.

So as fall comes and classes resume HEAR has many things to look forward to in the coming months.

Thank you for you generosity.
