There are moments in life when you feel suspended between dreams and reality. For me, that moment came right after I completed my Baccalaureate. I had a clear dream — to become an educator, to serve my community, and to help children grow with hope. But reality seemed cruel: my family couldn’t afford university.
Then, something incredible happened. Based on merit and faith in potential, Thrive Ansanm entered my life. They believed in me when it felt like no one else could — and their belief changed everything.
A Journey That Transformed My Life
Thanks to the support of Thrive Ansanm and their partner HELP for Haiti, I was able to enroll at the Université de la Renaissance d’Haïti (URH-ISAG) — a respected institution that shaped not only my academic path but also my sense of purpose. Each semester brings me closer to my mission: to serve children with passion, skill, and commitment.
I also had the privilege to study English at UP TO DATE English School. There, I didn’t just learn a language — I found my voice. I built confidence, developed leadership, and discovered the person I was meant to become.
An Internship That Built Hope
During my three years at university, I completed my internship at Beraca Educational Center. I was responsible for a class of 25 second-grade students. At first, I was nervous, but soon I realized — this was where I truly belonged.
Each morning, as I entered the classroom, I felt a deep joy and a renewed sense of purpose. Every child’s progress felt like a personal victory. Their smiles, respect, and warmth gave me strength. That’s where I learned what love really means — the love of teaching, of giving, of seeing hope grow in young hearts.
Thrive Ansanm – More Than Support
Thrive Ansanm has been more than a scholarship program for me — it’s been a family. They not only covered my education, but also provided access to technology, mentorship, and constant encouragement. Their moral and emotional support helped me stay focused and faithful to my goals.
Today, I stand as living proof that when you believe in young people, you invest in the future of a nation. Because Thrive Ansanm believed in me, I now believe even more deeply in others.
I will keep learning, keep giving, and keep believing — just as Thrive Ansanm taught me to do.
Their faith in me is not in vain. It’s shaping lives, one dream at a time.
