William Philippe, our Technology School Team Leader in Jeremie, Haiti, knows the value of hard work, study and preparation. He recently spent two weeks at a Microsoft certification “boot camp” in Florida, designed to help students successfully pass their certification exams. Each exam was scheduled after just a few days of intense study and completing a prep test. Of course, this required students to focus solely on the instructor and the materials presented.

Dreams Come True for Tek4Kids Volunteer
Many older folks like to exaggerate about their long treks to school when they were kids, saying they walked miles in the rain or snow to arrive at their destination. But Tek4Kids volunteer Yemi Sulaimon does not need to embellish his story of hardship. As a child growing up outside of Lagos, Nigeria, he literally walked nine miles to and from school, often without shoes.

Experiencing Haiti By Kirby Knies
I have written many drafts of this article trying to find the best words to describe Haiti. As I have discovered, it is not easily described. Haiti is not just a place, but something you have to experience for yourself in order to grasp it.

Changing One Life at a Time by Cheryl Seger
“It’s hard to change an infrastructure but changing one life at a time is possible. I saw many lives being affected through the efforts of Tek4Kids. The water systems, electricity and technical tools have and will continue to help the education system. I was privileged to work with Tek4Kids Haitian staff members, who were ambitious and willing to learn. They were very proud of their work. It warms my heart to know those small kids have purified water and a great way of learning. The kids seemed so happy. It was a “downer” when it was time to leave because it seemed like we just got started and I wanted to continue. The relationships we built during this trip will remain in my heart, from the parish group of nine to the Tek4Kids Haitian staff. This was an experience I will always treasure.” — volunteer Cheryl Seger, who traveled with a group from her parish in Southern Indiana to serve with Tek4Kids in Jeremie, Haiti

When Can I Go Back? by Allison Schroering
I wasn’t expecting to love Jeremie, Haiti as much as I did. When we were packing up to go back to the United States, I’ll be honest – I didn’t want to leave the place that had changed my life. It was sad and difficult to say goodbye to the people there, as well as the people from the parish who traveled with me. We developed new friendships and made lots of good memories.
