Purpose of this blog

Personal missionary work as a coordinator for the college students who graduated from Institution Univers in Ouanaminthe, HAITI.

I act as a liaison for those currently in college and their sponsors, until the students have all graduated, whether in USA, Haiti or the Dominican Republic.
As well, I encourage those who have graduated from college but have not yet returned to Haiti, to return to fulfill the purpose of their education, for themselves, their families, their country and most importantly, for God.

Updates from Univers...

 News from Ouanaminthe:
  • Hugues returned from a trip outside the country quite sick, spending a week under the weather, but is back in form again. 
  •  We have about 14 students scheduled for visa interviews in early June – for the August ESL experience, first-time college student visas and renewals. 
  • At the national Genie Royal (a.k.a. It’s Academic), Univers lost out to a rival school from Ouanaminthe – grrr!  However, at a first-time-ever similar local academic knowledge competition, Univers easily topped that same school.  Sweet!
  • Univers sent four qualifying teams to the national volleyball championship tournament in Port-au-Prince.  However, the organization of the host committee was sadly lacking, causing our delegation to spend their first night sleeping on the gymnasium bleachers! 
  • And we have two more grads who have returned with Bachelor degrees from the U.S. to join the I.U. staff – Marie-Claire Charles and Emmanuel Joseph.


Some of our "Philo" (Grade 13) in front of the school:
