The president's message
Dear valued reader,
We are excited to welcome you to our website, a space where we can provide you with information about our objectives, activities and realizations and where we can also receive your donations.
Since our creation in 1978 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, under the guidance of our mentor Brother Auguste Chassagne, sc, a member of the Brothers of Sacred Heart congregation in Haiti, we have changed the lives of many young people. In fact, the Foyer d’Epanouissement de la Jeunesse (FEJ), during more than twenty years has participated in the formation of an entire generation. With our activities such as spiritual retreats, plays, lectures, sports competition, visits and donation to the poor and so on, we give many young leaders the opportunity to train themselves and get ready for a better future as professionals and parents.
After a break of almost 12 years and at the death of our mentor, we decided to revive the experience and to bring something new to the youth of our community. With the members living in Africa, in Europe, in North America and in Haiti, we are bringing a new version of the group adapted to the exigencies of our time. The Youth Development Center Inc (FEJ Inc.) was incorporated in Florida and as a 501(c ) (3) aims to:
– Promote the development of spiritual, physical, social, cultural and family values among the Haitian youth.(Compassion)
- Promote human dignity by providing food, clothing and education to the needy in the Haitian youth population. (Services)
– Create, manage and control funds to be used for such objectives connected with FEJ. (Funding)
Our incorporation in Florida, our website, our conference calls and our facebook page are tools very important to structure our team, reach our target market and achieve our goals. However, for that to happen, we need your help because with your donations you are the cornerstone of our mission.
Thank you
Jean Apollinaire Sully Guerrier
President
