Thousands of people have lost their lives. Many people are still living in the streets and many more are in temporary shelters, (tents). Many went back to their towns. In Les Abricots, we received thousands, many of them children. Please help us help them.  Friends of Paradis des Indiens, Inc. is a volunteer organization. 100% of your donations will be used to help the children of the earthquake victims who came to our schools.

Friends of Paradis des Indiens Inc. is pleased to present the different projects we accomplished thanks to your generous contributions:
  • The Whitney Science center was built during 2009-2010. The official inauguration of the Whitney Science Center will be December 4, 2010.  The center include: A hands-on Science Lab,  A Computer Lab and an Infirmary.
  • The 11 satellite mountain schools now have manual skill classes (sewing, wood work, and basket-weaving)
  • Classrooms were added to 10 satellite mountain schools and the 11th satellite mountain school was inaugurated in September 2008.
  • A special environmental project to fight and prevent soil erosion was started.
  • Construction of a water well in the main school’s back yard.
  • Food distribution program to feed 500 elderly villagers.
  • Uniforms, sneakers, clothing, blankets, toothbrush and tooth paste distributed to students.
  • Distribution of rain coats to teachers.
  • Provided assistance to those whose homes and food gardens were destroyed by the  hurricane.

Our future goal is to add one classroom a year to each satellite mountain school so we can accommodate more students. This however will mean hiring more teachers and staff and improving the kitchen’s capacity. We are currently looking for: medical supplies and equipment for the infirmary. Laptops for the computer center. We are again relying on your generous contributions to help us reach our goals. 100% of the funds collected go directly to meet the needs of the children.
