The year 2024 has flown by, and as we approach its end, we also look towards the year ahead. It has been a year of significant activity for the Le Flambeau Foundation. We celebrate notable strides in empowering youth in Haiti. Three promising youth scholarship recipients received vital upskilling in the crucial fields of electrical and technology trades. Two impactful “THE SPARK of Le Flambeau” preparatory classes engaged over fifty young minds, highlighted by an inspiring in-person awards ceremony in the Cap-Haïtien area. We are also grateful for our continued partnership with Babbel, providing our youth with ongoing English language learning and expanded global access. A historic moment was marked in November as we awarded the first two Dr. Luc L. Colas College Scholarships to aspiring young agronomists, paving the way for a more sustainable future for Haiti. Globally, 2024 has witnessed significant change, and more is on the horizon. Haiti remains a prominent focus in global conversations, and economic rebuilding continues to be a collective effort. The spirit of resilience and the determination to overcome challenges are stronger than ever, with education serving as a cornerstone for sustainable development and a key driver of progress. We extend our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support throughout 2024. We look forward to an even more impactful and inspiring year in 2025. As you reflect on the past year and plan for the future, please consider including the Le Flambeau Foundation in your year-end giving. Join us in leaving a lasting legacy. https://lnkd.in/eM_RkNUi Happy Holidays!

Congratulations to the winners of the THE SPARK of Le Flambeau Spring 2024 session! The Le Flambeau Foundation (LFF) honored these exceptional young people during a ceremony held on August 1, 2024, in Limonade, Haiti. The event took place at the premises of our community partner for this session, Club Fermina. Celebrating its 15th year, THE SPARK of Le Flambeau is an online program designed to empower Haitian youth aged 16 to 27. It fosters critical thinking, English language fluency, and leadership skills. Past participants have achieved impressive successes, including college degrees, career advancements, and entrepreneurship. The ceremony opened with a tribute to Dr. Luc L. Colas, a visionary founding spirit of LFF. A distinguished professor of law, medicine, and philosophy, Dr. Colas would gather young people at his home in Cap-Haïtien. There, he sparked critical thinking and leadership by engaging them in discussions in English and French/Kreyol. That was 20+ years ago. Inspired by the transformative impact of these sessions, Dr. Colas’ teaching model, with the input of high school students in the U.S. and in Haiti, evolved into the online collaboration that is THE SPARK of Le Flambeau. On behalf of the Le Flambeau Foundation, a heartfelt thank you is extended to our volunteer English Grader Ms. Alexis (Floyd)! Her exceptional dedication and passion fueled the minds of Haitian youth participating in our weekly program, even amidst Haiti’s current circumstances. We also extend a warm THANK YOU to Babbel for their partnership in providing complimentary 2-year English Learning codes to the top students in this class. This spirit of mutual support embodies Le Flambeau Foundation's core principle: we empower each other to empower others. Together, we pave the way to a brighter future. The next session will be focused on young ladies. Merci!

Today, September 2nd, ,we celebrate the social and economic achievements of our workers and acknowledge their hard work and dedication. Thank You.

We honor and celebrate Freedom Day known as Juneteenth. Juneteenth commemorates June 19th, 1865, when enslaved people in Texas received news of their freedom two years after the emancipation proclamation, which marked the effective end of slavery in the United States. As we celebrate liberation, we reflect on the struggle for racial equality, and honor the ongoing quest for a more just society for all.

Fatherhood takes many shapes. As the Le Flambeau Foundation president shared, fathers are like the bow of an archer, while mothers are the string. Together, they propel their children, the arrows, towards their potential. This powerful image, passed down from his own father,- a towering figure in Haitian and global history, To learn more click here https://lnkd.in/ei_HDHRy #fathersday #haiti #education #youth #dad #history #udhr #universaldeclarationofhumanrights
