Ah...I can breathe again!

All praise to our Great God! Thirteen of the Fifteen U.S. Visas were issued. The only reason two were not is due to glitches that can be remedied. In one case, it's a matter of working with the college involved and it's a Visa renewal - Pray that MATC and SEVIS work through quickly on behalf of Clarel. The other is for one of our ESL students who's parents will have action to accomplish what needs to be done. All others have received approval for Visas - AMEN! Thank YOU for your prayers!

ESL Experience Host Families Needed - For your consideration

Hello my dear ones!

We still need to secure host families for our precious top scholars from Institution Univers for their U.S. adventure! We have a few families committed to host students but still need more.

I am attaching information for you to share with you and please share with others in your church.

You are welcome to share this with others! 

The cost is $2,800 per student for the entire time. The cost per student per week is $700. 

An estimate of dates of arrival is July 25 through August 22 in Ohio.  

Please let me know as soon as you can if you can host a student and please give me a first choice week and a second choice week, based on give or take a few days, July 25 through August 22 (8/22/14 most likely is the date for me to get them to NY to meet up with Hugues Bastien, as has been the tradition) with transfer from home to home, to take place on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon/evening each week.

Please contact me with any questions and THANK YOU for your prayerful consideration!

Much Love,

Marylee

Today my little friend Wilnese will be sitting for her entrance exam to attend Institution Univers, to return to IU, entering in Grade 7. Please keep her in your prayers as she is excited yet nervous to take the exam.
Here's Wilnese visiting me in my office at school:

Girls for the World Workshop Week coming to Institution Univers

We are very excited to welcome Karen Hanson from Girls for the World who has chosen Institution Univers as the place to introduce Girls for the World to the country of Haiti!
Karen will join us during our third week of Summer Camp 2014, to work with our Grade 12 girls. Karen has been very generous with her time and travel. We need to raise $750 to cover lunch and dinner for the girls, Karen and her translator, for the week.
