George Stines Haiti Scholarship Program

George Stines Haiti Scholarship Program Just up the mountain from Jacmel, Haiti, lies a magical place called Bassin Bleu. It is here our story begins. People must pay to send their children to school.

It's lush mountain views and famous waterfall frame the stunning backdrop of the home of some wonderful people. And if you think the views are beautiful......you should to meet the residents! Though poverty surrounds them and very hard work, you will not meet a happier bunch! Education in Haiti is not a right it is a priviledge. This is a real struggle for so many. They know that it is their child

's only hope but have no means. We are coming to their rescue. We are offering scholarships to children in need. We have aligned ourselves with a wonderful school in Bassin Bleu that educates children in their beginning years. With the help of Elysee Guerrier who runs the school we sponsor children that cannot afford the tuition. Our program matches a sponsor from our country to a individual student. The sponsor in turn pays for the child's tuition and follows their progress(believe it or not it is only $150 a year).Please follow our story with this page and feel free to contact us if you have questions or would like to join.

FYI..I have sent out many thank you letters to sponsors. Be sure and keep them this year for taxes as everyone can take deduction, not just the wealthy!!!

Good Morning...Staying inside away from the smoke and thought I would write a note. I am now in the middle of billing for fall semester 2026-2027. The cost is the same, $200 for the year. Crazy isn't it? How you can make a big difference in someone's life for only $200!! But that is what a year of education costs at Modern School in Bassin Bleu, Haiti. I have heard and believe that education is the number one investment in a third world country to make change.
We have been operating this program for over 12 years and are so proud of what we (meaning all of you) have accomplished. Many of our students have graduated high school and have earned scholarships to local universities. We hope to grow those numbers. Many of you have been with us from the beginning. Some of our sponsors have dropped off for different reasons. Others have joined in to sponsor new children that we have taken on or children whose sponsors have dropped. I want to say WELCOME to all of you newbies!! This is and has been a great ride. We are always, always, looking for new sponsors. So, if you know anyone send them our way. The more sponsors we have the more children we can educate. Education leads to change for all!! Here are pictures of children and that our new sponsors are taking on. First, we have Jacquet Betaisa sponsored by Russell of MI, Cherlanda Colin sponsored by Nancy of MI, and Jean Dieudesaica sponsored by Sue and Greg of MI. Have a great day.

Well another wonderful day at Modern School yesterday. It was the second graduation. Here are pictures of the 2026 Graduation Class. We sponsored 5 of the 8 graduates. Hats off to all of them. They worked hard for 13 years....many walking miles to attend school every day. But their perseverance paid off.

Here is picture of Paul and Wallas. Paul has gone on many, many trips with Fredo and Joan throughout the years. On this particularly grueling travel trip I can honestly say that we would not be able to make it without him. Also...he has a big heart. Him and his wife Josenie sponsor 3 children at the school!! The little girl in red is Fortune Zaell is one of the children they sponsor. Then I have a pic of Esperncia Bourguillon sponsored by Linda Of TN, Daniella Aladin and Marizon(Marizon the martiarch of Bassin Bleu). Daniella is sponsored by Jeff and Natasha of Canada.

Well, I have some news. Paul, Fredo, Joan, and myself just came back from Haiti!! It was a great but difficult trip. We went because someone very close to Fredo died and he wanted to make sure he made it to her funeral. She had a good life and died at age 104. Because if gangs we did not fly into Porta Prince but flew first to Cap Haitian, then to Les Cayes, then drove to the mountain. It was a long and grueling trip. But in the end we made it and attended a very nice funeral. We also visited the school and I got a lot of pictures. I will send more in the days to come. I am still acclimating to being back. But the school is doing awesome. There are now over 300 children attending! Of course there are also many on waiting list. Times are still very tough there. Jacmel as well as the mountain have always relied on tourists and there are none. One day we went to a beautiful hotel in Jacmel for lunch. In one of the pictures today I will post a picture of a view from the hotel. Anyway the hotel had no guests, swimming pool was closed down, and we were the only ones eating there. This is the best hotel in Jacmel! But the population has increased. We assumed many people are fleeing Porta Prince. We learned one of the main gang leaders, Barbecue, was taken out by a drone. Some say he escaped and is hiding out in Dominion Republic. We don't know. But at least he is gone and not causing chaos. Here are some pictures for you. First Is the picture of the view of the restaurant. Haiti is quite beautiful. Then we have Wallas and family, one with all of us at Fredo's house, 2 school pictures, Aissa Alexander and Elysee and Joan(Aissa is sponsored by Marta and Wendall of FL), and a picture of the wonderful ladies that cooked our meals.
