Preschool!

The preschool children at the Lagosette school are blessed with wonderful teachers, Marie Lourdes and Jezula.

Jezula teaches the younger kids and is full of energy and loves to teach the kids using songs and actions. She is from a neighboring village on the way to Cap Haitian. She is married and has three young children of her own at home as well.

Marie Lourdes teaches the older preschool kids. Her class is

equivalent to an American kindergarten. She prepares them for first grade where they begin to learn to read. If you have been to the Manna camp in Lagosette you probably know Marie Lourdes as she has helped with the cooking for our groups for many years. She speaks some English and loves to practice with the visitors. She is also a wife and mother, her husband also teaches at the Lagosette school, and they have two young children.

We are so thankful for Marie Lourdes and Jezula and the work they do with the children. If you'd like to help support their work, please "Chip-In," by using the button on the right to sponsor Paul Morphy in the NYC marathon. All donations given for his race go directly to supporting the work of the Lagosette school and reaching his goal will provide salary for the preschool teachers for an entire year. The countdown to the marathon on Sunday, November 7th, has begun!
