Sarah is a 20 year old Haitian. A very well spoken young woman that the Methodist Church in Haiti has been helping through university with a three year grant. The grant will enable her to complete a diploma in business administration next year. This will enable her to get a better paid job with which she will develop her career and help to rebuild her family home. When the Haiti Earthquake struck in January 2010 the home where she lived with her parents and younger brother,was completely destroyed. Sarah gets up between 3 and 4 in the morning to travel to work and leaves at 5 in the afternoon. With her salary she will also study medicine, she believes that the key to the future of Haiti is through education. "With education we can prepare a generation of parents that will provide the best standards and motivativation for their children to help Haiti develop and grow well in the future. In 2010 the Haiti appeal of the Methodist Church in Britain made a grant to the The Methodist Church Haiti to provide schollarships for 30 young people like Sarah. As I visit with the Methodist Church in Haiti and see what tremendous progress is being made in recovering, the call from our partner is for more support in this way that will have a lasting and permanent effect on the future of Haiti.
