Meet one of our teachers:
Jean was born in a southeastern community of Haiti, where he completed his primary studies. 📚 After completing 6th grade, Jean attended high school and also pursued other specialized studies. He later went to Port-au-Prince to attend the university. However, after only one year, he could no longer attend due to his family's financial situation. He shared that his family had suffered many illnesses and setbacks, hindering their ability to financially support him. Jean shifted from furthering his education to seeking work. His first job was as a teacher at one of the national schools, but the income was not sufficient to meet his and his family’s needs.
But 🙌🏽 God! Jean was led to Pastor Jean Thony, one of the overseers of the school in Haiti founded by Iva and Richard Presberry through Hope for Caribbean Kids, Inc. He has been teaching there since 2019. He shared that it takes 3 hours for him to walk from his parents’ house to get to the school. Jean is dedicated and expressed his gratitude for the school and his job. He has since been able to improve their financial situation. He was pleased to share that he started gardening, and they are now able to pasture a few cows, goats, and sheep. He gives all glory to God. 🙌🏽
Jean teaches both 7th and 8th grades in Spanish and French, as well as physics. With your generous contributions, we are able to give our teachers a source of income. We appreciate Jean and his skills and dedication to teaching Haiti’s kids, and we appreciate all of you who make this possible.
Please stay updated as we highlight more teachers, kids, and other impact stories God through you have made possible through your giving of Hope!
