Monday, October 14, 2013 - CAP HAITIEN  

Today was the gathering in Cap-Haitian to announce the regional winners of the Entrepreneur of the Year.  There are four categories and Hugues was nominated (anonymously at least to us) to the education category.  As you may know, Digicel is the largest cell phone company in Haiti and throughout the Caribbean.  Hugues is now the winner of the education Entrepreneur of the Year award in the north region.  There are a total of four regions in the nation for this selection process.  On December 17^th, he is invited to Port-au-Prince, where the selection of the national winners will be announced.

Before that date, Digicel will send a filming and interview crew to Univers to gather more information and footage to put together a short video to present at the December 17^th gathering.

Hugues and the other regional winners are also invited to Columbia University in New York for a seminar on leadership.

As proud as we all are of Hugues and his initiative in setting the vision for Univers, he is quick to comment that this award is really about the entire Univers community.  It is a recognition of what has been accomplished TOGETHER in the work that the Lord has given us to do.

Thank you, Lord, for the privilege of serving with Hugues in your work.
