This school has been a shining light for this community, providing accredited education for up to 400 students, pre-K through grade 11. Because of the generosity of so many of you, this school has done remarkable things for so many.

In addition to the classic areas of study, our school also provides education in music, Bible study, sewing, ESL, gardening and farming.  The addition of this agricultural education has proven to be invaluable through these last years of unrest in the country of Haiti.

Yes, Haiti continues in its dark days, with the government in disarray, no president yet elected, gangs controlling many of the streets and neighborhoods, hospitals opened in limited capacities, and schools within the city struggling to keep their students safe amongst all the violence.

Thankfully our school is safely tucked up in the mountains, away from the everyday chaos. However, it is because of these external factors that our costs for food and supplies have continued steadily rising, while accessing safe methods of transport for our goods has become increasingly more difficult. This has impacted the daily operations of Fond Blanc Foundation, forcing us to shift our attention away from our historic growth, towards stabilizing our sustainability projects.

Because of this, our Rally on the Runway will be focused on the school in Fond Blanc as well as growing the agricultural sustainability arm of the foundation.  This is something we are all very excited about, as it creates an additional level of stability for those living in and around this remote village.

Bondye Beni Ou!
