Contra dancing is social interaction, meeting people, and making new friends, set to music. The caller teaches each dance before it is actually done to the music. This gives everyone an idea of what to expect so the movements can be easily executed. Musicians then join the caller while dancers perform each movement to the music.

Contra dances are a place where people of all ages and from many walks of life come together to dance and socialize. Join us on May 30 for a fun evening! Link in our bio.

Our graduates, Christella in cosmetology and hairdressing, and Rose in Hospitality and Tourism. In Haiti, education is not free and it is rigorous. Students must pass state exams in 9th, 12th and then the baccalaureate to go on to college. The percentage of students who are able to go on to college is low. We do our best to ensure that our children who cannot continue to college have a vocational degree or certificate in order to support themselves. Opportunity = a brighter future. Consider a donation today.

Martine then and now. Martine has always been serious and reflective. Her dream is to be a doctor, but the violence in Haiti restricted that opportunity. After careful reflection, she has chosen to study accounting and is in her second year of college, an opportunity afforded to few (especially girls) in Haiti. Education builds brighter futures, please consider donating to provide quality education in Haiti (link in bio).

From HELO’s humble beginnings in 2007, when 10 small children were taught on slate boards in the comfort of their tiny home, HELO has grown by leaps and bounds, as have our children! Our campus now boasts four schools — kindergarten, elementary, high school, and vocational school. We are educating over 400 children, and have seven of our children attending colleges. Education is costly, but education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and building brighter futures. Please watch for posts throughout the day on Giving Tuesday as we highlight the growth of some of HELO’s children. Children whose futures are much brighter because of generous people like you! Your donations will help keep our programs running, and we hope you will consider donating on Giving Tuesday (link in bio)
