Dora
Beraca Education Center
Kindergarten (Year 3)

Dora is a very active and intelligent little girl who can’t seem to ever sit still. She loves playing with her friends, and she enjoys drawing and singing. Her mother says she is affectionate and loves everyone, but she can be a little bossy. She doesn’t like conflict, and even at her young age, she’s been known to try to break up arguments in the house. She has observed her mother who is a nurse, and she likes to pretend to take people’s blood pressure and temperature. Even though her mother is a nurse, and her father is a police officer by profession, their income is small and inconsistent, so they are struggling to make ends meet. Now Dora is in her first year of kindergarten, and she’s doing well.

Education

Education is a step toward a brighter future. However, most families struggle to afford to send their kids to school. When a student is supported through Thrive Ansanm, we cover the cost of their tuition and other school costs, so they can stay in school and succeed.

Technology

Digital access creates opportunity and connection. Most Haitian students don’t have a computer or high-speed internet, but at our resource center local students can access laptops, high-speed internet, and consistent electricity, so they won’t get left behind in today’s digital world.

Mentoring

Mentoring develops the leaders of tomorrow. We match university students with personal mentors who who provide guidance from their experience. These mentors are qualified professionals from the local community, so they understand the unique challenges confronting Haitian students.
