The Haiti Vocational School Project Kicks Into High Gear.
Breaking The Cycle of Extreme Poverty With Education, Job Skills and Hope
June 2014 Ends With The Start of Our Haiti School Land Purchase Fund Raiser.....
 The fund raiser we conducted last February and March
to cover trip #2 was based on 1 pound Carmel Rolls. This fund raiser was such a success, we are now rerunning
it to raise the funds needed to purchase the land for our new school in Haiti.
If you would like to help by purchasing Carmel Rolls or volunteering please call Edward at 218-305-4100
or use the website's contact form and we'll reach out to you. Carmel Rolls are baked for us weekly by
the folks at the Sunrise Bakery of Hibbing, so you know they are a quality product.
Here is a link to a Printable Flyer and a Group Order Form for the current fund raiser, get involved and spread the word.
Trip #2 Completed Successfully
Well I'm back in Minnesota. The trip was a success and
we accomplished almost everything we planned, which is fantastic.
One of the things that I
learned this trip is that if we are going to be in Haiti helping for the long haul we need
to address many issues like security, to make sure our equipment and supplies remain at the school.
Organizations like the U.N. and others have addressed this problem by building in a more secure compound style.
I believe this approach will be much cheaper in the long run
In the future I will add a link to an area called building the new permanent school where I can
provide information updates to you and others that are interested in our efforts. I believe that we
should be able to educate about 180 students per year with the new school. Continuing our basic electricity and adding entry level residential electrician classes.
For more information on the trip please visit the Haiti Trip #2 page.

 Our Partner In Haiti, Pastor St. Luc Noel:
Pastor St. Luc has 11 churches and 6 schools for grades 1-3 serving about 960 children.
Even though he is busy with his ministry and schools he still finds the time to be a strong supporter of the
project and is our go to for anything that we need to find in Haiti. With his help, I believe that we can
find darn near anything over there.
He is currently staying with us here in Minnesota as he conducts his speaking tour at churches and religious
seminars around the North Central United States. He will be leaving us to return to Haiti on the 23rd of June. It
has been fun having him here with us as it has given more time to talk about the school project. When in Haiti
working on the school project I stay with his family. I find it a good way to learn about the culture of Haiti.
We sincerely appreciate all of the time and help he provides to NACEC and this project.
