We are so thankful for our teachers. Not only do they work hard to give our kids the best education possible, but they also serve as mentors.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Meet Mr. Gracia, director of Respire Haiti Christian School. With the help of his administration, Mr. Gracia has been an incredible leader for the development of our school.
This school year is shaping up to be another year of incredible growth.
The game of chess is not merely an idle amusement. Several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired or strengthened by it. Life is a kind of chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with. -Benjamin Franklin
One of our goals at Respire Haiti is providing jobs to our local economy through employment at Respire and through microloans.
A strong local economy gives the community the resources to improve health care, housing, clean water, and disaster response just to name a few.
Mental health services are rare in Haiti. Many traumatic experiences that children can go through are typically never addressed.
Our mental health staff use a wide range of techniques and resources to help children and adults process what they have been through and develop coping skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.
Since their last tournament, our tennis team has shown a strong desire to improve their game.
It's no stretch to say that they're going to be even more prepared for the next national tournament.
When I knew In march I was going on a mission trip to Haiti , " miracle on voodoo mountain " was " required " reading from our team leader . So once we came to Haiti , it was a place we knew we wanted to see and experience . They were so gracious of their time to give us a wonderful tour and tell us more details about what the Lord is providing there at respire �. Once we got off the bus , children greeted us and we were all drawn even more to the work that Megan and josh are doing there . GOD Is there at Respire . I am excited to look into sponsoring a child so I can be a apart of that ��
I went to Respire Haiti with the intent to personally grow in my Chrisatian faith by applying the written word to my everyday actions. As a result I assumed that I could have an impact on someone there.
I was blown away how I was impacted through the experience. From the interns staff teachers and of course the children. The more I gave of myself the more I received. On my flight back I was filled with not only great memories but peace love and understanding of Respire Haiti.
It was truly an honor to serve here and I look forward to many more visits.
The peace compassion and love dwell in Respire Haiti
