WHO WE ARE?

Board of Directors

A Message from The Board of Directors:

​

The Board of Directors extends its heartfelt congratulations, prayers, and continued work to recognize Sherrie Fausey on the Twentieth Anniversary of Christian Light School, Haiti. Twenty years of service to any organization is a significant milestone. In the case of Sherrie Fausey, it is a living testimony to trusting God unconditionally and following His will.

​

Two decades ago, Sherrie left a successful teaching position in a public school system, her home and the comfort of friends and familiar surroundings.  We hear stories from time to time of people who take the proverbial leap of faith.  Sherrie is one such person.  However, that leap of faith has created many steps of opportunity for the children in Haiti, the poorest country In the western hemisphere.

​

Today, the school, Pre-K through Grade 13 has an enrollment of approximately 300 students. Each student by God’s grace, is supported by sponsorships.  Along with a strong Christian education founded in scripture, the students receive rigorous and rewarding academic training.  The school’s outreach extends beyond the walls of the campus, located in the heart of Port-au-Prince. A highly effective feeding program for babies is ongoing each week. These babies , if they can remain healthy will some day attend the school.  CLS also operates a home for abandoned children.

 

These programs cost money.  In a country devastated by material and spiritual poverty, there is hope, because Sherrie Fausey answered God’s call to save children. She cannot do it alone. Along with a very dedicated staff, a devoted Board of Directors and the love and generosity of individuals, church groups and Christian organizations, the next twenty years can be rewarding and abundantly blessed if you will help. 

 

Please join us in celebrating Sherrie’s life and God’s light by continuing to pray faithfully and giving generously.

Christian Light School employs a dedicated staff of 71 individuals. Many of our cooks and janitors may not have had the chance to attend school, but we deeply appreciate their contributions to our ministry as they serve with their unique skills.

We have 39 teachers, ensuring that each class of young children has at least two educators. Most of our secondary teachers work part-time and are also employed at other local schools.

For Haiti to progress, it requires an educated populace. Unfortunately, many Haitian teachers have not completed high school, often becoming village teachers simply because they are the most educated individuals in the area. This does not foster a strong educational system, as teachers can only impart the knowledge they possess.

At Christian Light School, our primary teachers are required to have at least a high school diploma, secondary teachers must be certified in their subjects. We actively encourage them to pursue further education at the university level and have established an Education sponsorship program to enhance their skills. Our goal is to nurture both our students and staff.

To date, we have hired eleven graduates from Christian Light School, and they are proving to be our most exceptional employees!
