Wilguens Estavien was born in Deye Mon, a mountain village in the Artibonite Department of Haiti. But after the death of his father at age six, Wilguens was given the opportunity to go to school when he went to live with his Uncle and Aunt in Port-au-Prince. Although his school lacked desks or even chairs, and often lacked teachers, Wilguens graduated High School. He then went on to earn an Accoun
ting Degree. Haitian Creole was his first language, but he was educated in French, learned Spanish, then went on to become quite fluent in English. Having an education and the ability to speak English opened doors for Wilguens. Wanting to share his gift of education with others, Wilguens started High Speed Professional School. He and his staff of volunteer teachers provide free professional training, including English and computer classes. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Wilguens and his friends, students at High Speed are gaining life changing skills. High Speed was just the beginning. Wilguens then founded Just Have Faith Ministries. JHF seeks to create a successful, sustainable, compassionate model for community and leadership development in Haiti that embraces the ideals of stewardship, accountability, love of the Lord, and love of others.
