Progress, Hope & Celebrations
Not Just a Building… the Place to Be! A Place of Hope! The Apparent Project buildings have been empty, lacking the kids & staff, lacking fun, activities & learning that normally occur throughout the year. It’s been a tough time. When no end is in sight, discouragement can set in. There has been some progress […]
Hope for Hacheley’s Family
I want to share the story of a close-knit, fun, and happy Haitian family! Why? Because there is HOPE in the midst of chaos. There is hope for the future. When an opportunity is available, there’s potential for change! The Ambranne Family… I first met the twins, Fransley & Francia, when they were preschoolers. I […]
Meeting Odely
Odely! Just thinking about him… It makes me smile! He’s an overcomer! His story is full of challenges! And there are 3 separate “segments” to his story… The younger years in Haiti. Life in the USA. The return to his homeland… Haiti! Each segment of his story has had opportunities to become an overcomer! Odely […]
Meeting Fleurisna
Fleurisna is full of life & love! When we first interviewed her, she was shy & didn’t say much. We didn’t know what an amazing, loving & competent person was hidden from us. But we needed extra help with the babies, so she was hired for a part-time position with Jesula as her mentor & […]
Meeting Jesula
Jesula works in the AP Childcare & oversees the infants. She is truly a gift to the babies! At Apparent Project, we value the gift of nurture! We talk about healthy trees that bear much fruit. They have healthy roots! A tree needs water & sunlight and the right environment to be healthy. Babies need […]

Meeting Maguy
Maguy is our first-grade teacher and lead teacher at the Apparent Project Elementary School. During the second year of the Apparent Project, we added a grade. So, we needed another teacher. Maguy was highly recommended by Kika, our founding teacher. There were several applicants, but Kika”s recommendation was the obvious choice. Maguy had previously run […]
Meeting Yvrose
Yvrose! It’s pronounced “Eve-Rose!” When I first heard her name, I thought it would be spelled the way it sounds to me… Eve Rose. Love her name! It sounds like the “Evening Rose!” It makes me think of someone who blossoms slowly, someone who is beautiful throughout the process, but gorgeous when in full bloom. […]
Meeting Guerline
Guerline is so special to me! She is one of the 4 original women who became part of Apparent Project when it was first created in 2009! She was also one of the 4 original women who were chosen to be part of the AP Childcare when it started in 2014! Someday her full story […]
