Mission: FONDESCH is a local organization provided to meet communities needs to orphans and other children with their families with appropriate culturally sensitive care and services that are consistent with Haiti welfare's law. We conducted monthly meetings, teach community leadership and make available resources to community leaders, teachers, active citizen, youth, and other individuals in group setting environment where they can best develop appropriate skills to change community living conditions and achieve economic and social self-sufficiency.

Volunteers and professional staff who are culturally sensitive are recruited for participation in the community project. Our staff are not there for wages or create opportunities for their own families. They are there to encourage people from any churches, schools in the community to participate in social activities, meetings, special events related to promotions as well as their need to help them achieve a balance and adaptation to a new socio-cultural community.

Why we are working with communities?
The journey of the tiny impoverished Caribbean island country of Haiti to inner circles academia, business and professional life has provided a first hand view of the systematic discrimination against Haitian born as well as Haitian immigrants all over the world.

The establishment of FONDESCH, "A Community Help Foundation" is a result of our outrage at the audacity of some people who participate needlessly in complicating the transition of our Haitian-born brothers and sisters. There is not much we can do right now for Haiti but only to help educate children, to make the living conditions better for people, to open more orphanages in over twenty villages, to be proud to see Haitians abroad come back home for vacation, relax and spend time with their families, to see tourism industry wakes up tremendously and to avoid another flood of boat people leaving the country seeking for better life elsewhere.

FROM THE SITE:

STUDENTS EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS

The Haitian Student Earthquake Victims are suffering and everyday we received calls from students asking for help to go study else where. We have contacted some Prime Minister and officials abroad to open doors for the Haitian Students for a period of time and we haven't got answer to allow them to continue their education. Our Haitian students are not looking for work, they just need some country, some people to provide an approval petition. This is a rare circumstances but please do somebody give them the opportunity to rebuilt. They are the new generation. If you would like to help concerning this issue, contact us or visit our Education Fair web page.

MISSION UPDATE
After January 12th, 2010, our program in Marigot is reaching from eighty nine to one hundred and five children. The number is growing rapidly because some families are relocating from other communities and enrolled their children to our program. We have more requests for food, color crayons, pencil and paper for the children to draw and keep themselves occupy during the crisis. The school season is temporarily closed at this time because of the crisis but the parents are very excited to have their children coming at the center everyday to learn, play, sing and eat together.
