FROM ZION SEWING VOCATIONAL TRAINING COURSE
LAUNCHED OCTOBER 2019!
with the FIRST SUCCESSFUL COURSE COMPLETION - END OF 2020!
...Even during the COVID pandemic!
With such a small class size - (under 10) we were allowed to continue this wonderful course throughout 2020 and then into 2021! And now beyond...
The mum's from Love Community and the wider Carrefour community,
truly loved this course and the supportive foundation they still belong to!
From 2019 - onwards...
we went into EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS!
We moved to our PERMANENT NEW FACILITIES in Carrefour...
and
FROM ZION from Australia partnered with FRONTIER PROJECTS
and we launched and ran our first vocational Sewing Program as

Our 2018 Launch dinner!
Libellule means "dragonfly" in French - the symbol for transformation!
In 2018, we launched Libellule Training Academy (LTA) Artisan Jewellery Classes: employing 2 Haitian Trainers - Phalone & Sandra (see below photo - back row, far right, far left) & 1 Administration Director- Johanne (centre right).
Classes were for parents, youth & orphans - transforming lives by providing training to assist them in finding a vocation! Another amazing FP missions volunteer - Alyssa Barber from the USA (centre row, centre), was in Haiti for 6 months, teaching ESL Classes at LTA & undertaking other vital FP admin, IT & program work! We love this amazing visionary!
