Dear Kathryn and Dear Benefactors,

Life is really expensive in Haiti.  The teachers have asked us for a raise in salaries for the year 2013-2014.  Within our community of Sisters, we have thought a lot about this request.  But, many parents are not even able to give the minimum that we ask, so how can we increase the salaries?  It is not easy.  On one other side, teachers are right, life is really expensive, when you have to pay for the house where you live, pay the school fees of your own children, transportation, food, illnesses and so many other things ...  You have to put yourselves in their shoes to understand their problems.  As you can see, the School of the Infant Jesus, still has great needs.  We thank you for your heart of love and support which helps us make life better in this Cite Militaire neighborhood of Port-au-Prince.

God bless you!  Sr. Marie Laguerre Josseline FMA. and Community.
