Just to give you, Facebook friends, an idea of what the Youth Education Sanctuary (YES) is all about. The following pictures are part of our project to tackle the deforestation of Haiti by teaching our young people how to build biodigesters to produce, use and sell Methane Gas. That is just one example of what we are already focusing on through our annual youth camps. Now all of that will be buit on the Word of God as the foundation. Our Christian Faith permeates everything we do.

Kreyòl Lakal: Nap goumen pou n bati yon tanp edikasyon bò Pestèl. (Se plan an m te mete nan masaj anvan an). Nou rele li yon tanp edikasyon pase se sa nou vle pou li ye. Depi 1996 Greskò ap travay sou teren an an Ayiti. Se edikasyon baze sou lafwa kretyèn ki sèl bousòl nou. Nou vle anprann jèn yo an Ayiti bagay kap sèvi yo pou lavi.
Plante pyebwa
Konsève dlo lapli
Bati fou pou fè pen kap to sèvi pou fè aransò
Fè gas metann ak fatra olye pou boule chabon
Fè elvaj pou l
Pote premye swen a bèt
Etsetera
Tout sa ap chita sou levanjil Kris la pou ranje eskanp figi legliz nan peyi a. Legliz rate vokasyon sosyal li nou deside ak kouraj seyè ban nou pou n chanje sa.

We pray that soon we will be able to start digging the foundation for the Young Education Sanctuary South of Port-au-Prince, near the town of Pestel.

Five of the Port-au-Prince committee members discussing among other things the upcoming December Toy drive. Great machine to make peanut butter and oil all at the same time. Hope we can buy one and send it to Haiti. An $800 project.

Youth Education Sanctuary in Pestel. Le Sanctuaire d'Education des Jeunes. During this camp our classes included "Introduction to Ecology", "The importance of the water cycle", "Social Engagement", etc. Our basic Bible text was Romans 12:2. Grace Corps is committed to changing Haiti one mind, one heart, one child at a time.
