We visited St Martin de Porres Secondary School in Hinche
headed by Monsignor Jethro Noel. The
Richmond diocesan Haitian Education Fund is providing scholarships to about a
dozen students chosen by Monsignor Jethro.
He called them to his office so we could meet them and Kathy spoke with
each one briefly. They come from Hinche
and rural areas, several with only one parent.
One was even from Cerca Carvajal.
They are all from impoverished families but understand the importance of
education in their desire to rise up out of poverty. Monsignor Jethro is a kind and jovial man who
obviously is dedicated to provide learning and hope to all his students.
With Msgr. Jethro |
