Friends of Borgne

A hundred years from now

it will not matter what my bank account was,

the sort of house I lived in,

or the kind of car I drove.  

But the world may be different

because I was important in the life of a child.

ACTIVE PROJECTS

Animal Husbandry

Raising animals is a way of saving and investing in Haiti. We partner with local peasant organizations to pass on the age-old skill of raising pigs to the youth contingent of their organizations.

Computer Training

As internet and computer access becomes more prevalent in the rural areas of Haiti, we are training teachers to incorporate technology in their learning and teaching.

Summer Programs

Summer programs vary each year, but provide continuity of instruction, opportunities for fun in a community atmosphere and much needed meals to students during the summer.
