On Saturday, Grace Emmanuel School held its second high school graduation ceremony. The 18 students who make up the GES Class of 2018 overcame many obstacles to achieve this major milestone. We are so proud of them!
Without the opportunity that GES provides, most of the students in this class would not have had the means to finish high school. Thank you, sponsors and supporters, for providing this opportunity for dreams to come true.
This week the students are taking government baccalaureate exams which will determine their eligibility for university in the fall. Many of the graduates of Grace Emmanuel School have dreams to further their education in college, but few have the resources to do so. JiHM intends to award scholarships to local universities to the top two students in the class. To help make this possible, make a gift to the GES Scholarship Fund, and do the Haitian Hustle!
