HTCF's Education Programs
The
most effective way to really benefit any nation is to invest in
its education system. With education, social and economic development
are attainable. HTCF supports many educational programs in the
US, Haiti, Jamaica. Other countries are being added to our roster
as we continue to grow.
The HTCF is currently providing culturally sensitive education
in English, French, Spanish, and Haitian through the following mediums to underprivileged people around
the world:
- Print Materials
- Culturally Sensitive TV Programs
- Radio Health Related Programming
- CDs, and DVDs
- Culturally Sensitive Seminars and Workshops
- Classes by Culturally Sensitive Trainers
- Lectures
- Keynote Speaking
- Formation of Culturally Sensitive Health Agents
- Poor Immigrant Health Education
- Parent-Child Communication for Responsible Behavior
Note: Many of these programs are already happening in California, New
York, Miami, and Haiti.
If you are interested in suggesting an additional location
that would benefit from our specialized programs, please contact
us with the details.
Academic
Programs in Haiti
- Providing
teachers with salaries to benefit existing schools
- Giving scholarships, school supplies and uniforms to children
- Renting or leasing spaces to open new schools. Without these
schools, many children, especially young girls, would have not
been able to receive the gift of education and be able to break
the cycle of poverty.
We
are presently funding wholly or in part the following schools:
Lycee Philippe Jules and four kindergartens in La Vallee de
Jacmel, Haiti.
Three elementary
schools in the county of Leogane, Haiti.
Ecole
Mixte Lamercie Murat in Bizoton, Haiti.
A hot
meal is provided to many of the students. The goal is to
be able to give a hot meal to all the children attending
our schools. "Children cannot learn adequately on a
hungry belly" - Lamercie Murat
