A message from Fr. Vidal
Greetings to one and all. Some of you are aware that
March 4-11, 2013 I visit Servants of Mary Center, Child Jesus School,
Petit-Goave, Haiti. On this trip, I was accompanied by two young adults
from St. Louis, Missouri: Ellen Schroeder and Grace Kenny, who wanted to
share their time, talent, and faith with the children and staff of Child Jesus
School. Ellen is a student of art therapy. Grace is a nurse at
Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Both have had experiences before in
participating in other outreach program to the poor, the needy, the forgotten,
and so forth. This was a wonderful experience for them, for me, for Fr.
Magloire, for all the staff who got to know them, and for the children with whom
they spent fruitful time and experiences. We are grateful for their visit
to Child Jesus School. We hope this will inspire others to come and visit
and share of your time and talent and faith with the children, the staff, the
parents.
You will find here some pictures and reflections of Grace and Ellen and
the children, on one of the many occasions that they encountered and enjoyed
each other. Please continue to support our efforts to provide an
education to the children of Child Jesus School. Whatever donation or
contribution you are able to make will be greatly appreciated.

In advance, we thank you for your kindness and
generosity. We can provide you with a list of projects or items
that the school needs to better serve the children: e.g., screens on
the windows, ceiling fans, solar panels, desks and cabinets for teachers,
microwave oven, blender, and other appliances for kitchen, etc.
