Creda finished last year (the equivalent of our sophomore year) first in her class. She also has taken a leadership role in the Jen Atizan de Bazvil (our arts group). If somebody is missing a our bi-weekly meetings, Creda gets on her bike to go to the members house and encourage her to come to the meeting.

Creda te fini premye nan klas segond li. Li yon lider nan gwoup Jen Atizan de Bazvil. Le nou gen reyinyon e genmoun ki manke, Creda monte bekann li pou checke moun yo.

English Language Insitute

Koneksyon Ayiti opened its English language Insitute in Jermie in 2006 and begins it's fourth session this fall with 45 students.

Arts and Crafts Project - Update

In September of 2006 we began with our Arts and Crafts project. 9 young unemployed women and 2 young unemployed men are making coasters, placemats, fans, and baskets out of straw-like material. This January (2007), we are beginning with jewelry making. This project has been enthusiastically embraced by the young people.

Now in fall 2007, at the request of the Jen atizan de Bazvil themselves, we have added a small business management training program. The training is primarily in materials management, and will have many applications as their arts and crafts project moves to a more professional phase. Anneau Joseph, a graduate in management from the University of the Nouvel Grand'Anse, is conducting the training. The students have to pass an exam and will then receive a certificate in materials management.

Jen atizan de bazvil te mande pou yon pwogram fòmasyon. Nou te deside n ap fè yon pwogram sou jesyon de stok. Mesye Anneau Joseph pral travay kom pwofesè pou pwogram sa a. Li menm te gradye nan depatman jesyon nan Inivesite Nouvel Grand'Anse. Jen yo bezwen pase yon egzamen pou resevwa yon setifika nan jesyon de stock.
