A LIFILIM and FRONTIER PROJECTS program to provide parents with social and community support, including vocational training for themselves and educational opportunities for their children.
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 LIBELLULE TRAINING ACADEMY in Carrefour, Haiti.

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 FPmissions 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! Read more of Alyssa's journey HERE.
