St. Andre’s School, Haiti
St Andre’s School in Hinche, Haiti, is where the Great Commandment to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves took root years ago and still flourishes. For four decades, St. Dunstan’s has been working hard to provide love and financial support for the children of St. Andre’s. From a fledging school of just 3 grades and 37 pupils, St. Andre’s has grown to 40 classrooms with 1,500 students (including recent refugees from Port-au-Prince) who are fed a hot meal for the day and nourished with a stimulating education that will serve them far into the future.
Through catastrophes of every kind – a failed government, gang violence, earthquakes and hurricanes, excruciating poverty – St. Andre’s partnership with St. Dunstan’s has grown in strength, commitment, and love.
What are the odds that folks living and worshiping in such diverse places as Haiti and the Monterey Peninsula could develop such a loving and dynamic partnership?
That story is much too exciting to fit here. Please be brave, take a chance your heart may expand, and click here:
