Rendez-vous in 2015

Thanks to friends and volunteers in 2015:



A pickup truck was donated and transported to the Foyer


We paid salaries, repairs, tuition, helped set up 2 micro-enterprises, and brought medication (in particular for Maud Semelfort, the cook who is fighting breast cancer)

We purchased a peanut butter making machine to help start the production of peanut butter.

We completed the volunteer housing and installed solar panels, thanks to a major donation from Association Terre des Montagnes. 

At least 50 volunteers have already enjoyed the facility and been a resource for the Foyer bringing skills, knowledge, donations, and love. 

We taught: computer literacy , English , patchwork & Entrepreneurship.

We brought: shoes, clothes, toiletries & crafts supplies.

We took all the children to the beach, organized puzzle, kite making, drawing, & painting competitions & rewarded school achievements

We  have helped support the studies of Bully Sanon in Engineering for the past 3 years & he graduated this December.

In 2016...

We will be looking for sponsors for 10 students, work on micro-enterprises, fundraise to purchase a "taptap" ( that will generate income and facilitate transportation) & develop a restaurant/take-out counter to foster jobs and revenue.
