Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization and Tek4Kids is grateful for the commitment, energy and talent that all of our volunteers bring to our projects; without that commitment and support, it would be harder to provide clean water, laptops and iPads to those in need. We honor all of our volunteers and all they do for our efforts.

Volunteer work in the third world was not on my agenda until about 5 years ago. My involvement with Tek4Kids has opened new insights for me and my family. I particularly enjoy communicating to others about the reality of Haiti and the experiences I’ve had. Communicating through a translator has caused me to develop a new skill. I’ve enjoyed sharing various work skills with workers. Like how to get started sawing a board.

When I was about to return to the States for Christmas, I asked Asmail, one of the best English speakers in my class, what he would like to receive if I were to return with a Santa Claus-like pack full of presents from the U.S. Without hesitation, Asmail responded, "More knowledge.”

Of all the volunteer work I do, the work at Tek4Kids is the most rewarding because it has the most lasting impact on the children in Haiti.

I have been able to work my way out of poverty in Africa and am enjoying helping the people in Haiti do the same. Dreams come true, I am a living witness.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with hard-working and enjoyable people such as those who make up the T4K staff in Jeremie, Haiti.

I have been to Haiti many times in the last ten years, especially to Jeremie. Seeing the pictures of the devastation of the city by hurricane Matthew broke my heart. I have traversed its streets many times, admired its beauty but all that is gone now. It makes me, as a volunteer of Tek4Kids, want to continue going back in an attempt to help the people restore what they have lost.

Being a volunteer at Tek4Kids, allows you to see the passion and vision Gary has for bringing hope and a better future to the students participating in the technology classes which Tek4Kids provides.

In a recent photo, I am standing in front of a mural of Haitian children and it appears I am holding hands with them. It is like a bridge from the past to the present. When I see the little kids in their uniforms and bows in their hair, it takes me back to my childhood in Cap-Haitian. God has blessed me with the opportunity to return to Haiti now as a Tek4Kids volunteer. My association with Tek4Kids is a 'God thing.'
