Summertime in Haiti is always filled with an abundance of celebrations! We kick it off on May 24th, with the Anniversary of our secondary school, IPEPH. This year, our faculty, staff and students held Mass and celebrated 18 incredible years of educating the youth in the La Vallée community! As the school year came to an end in June, we celebrate the completion of another successful year and all of our students' hard work. Then our next big celebration of the summer was the Feast Day of our Parish, Saint Jean Baptiste on June 24th. This is always the biggest celebration of the year where our community comes together for Mass, parades, and feasts! Celebrations will continue into next month with graduation, state exam achievements, another round of English courses and more!
I think the "celebration" we are most excited for is the arrival of our new Starlink satellite internet! Due to our rural location, it has been impossible to get internet access at our schools and Starlink is going to make this dream a reality! Having reliable internet will help us better educate our students and help them stay connected to what's happening in the world. We are tremendously blessed to be able to provide this luxury to our students.
The state of Haiti may continue to be unstable, but we will still celebrate special occasions, big and small!
