Meeting Nicky!
We all have a story. Tracing the events of each person’s life often shows a person’s life story!
Nicky’s story is very interesting! From being raised by his mom, with time spent at living in an orphanage due to poverty. Then, after “aging out of” the orphanage, he was hired to work there. That was where he learned how much he loved kids! While at the orphanage, Nicky also made connections with an American family who helped him in various ways… including sponsoring Nicky to attend Apparent Project Institute (where he learned some valuable typing, English & computer skills!)
After completing the API course, Nicky asked if he could volunteer for Apparent Project. He is truly a servant! Always willing to do whatever he was asked to do! No complaints! Diligent, reliable! In time there was a job opening to oversee daily activities at the AP Childcare &Preschool! Nicky was delighted to take the job!
That was when Nicky opened his heart to me, telling me what he had prayed for years… If he could have a job, he would love to work with kids! Maybe his childhood experiences gave him compassion for children, wanting them to be loved & cared for. I don’t know… but he is so kind to our AP kids!
He is willing to do whatever is needed…. Filling water bottles for the kids, doing admin work on the computer, caring for each child as if it was his own!
The COVER PICTURE ABOVE is from video clip (shown on Instagram.) The video clip of Nicky is my favorite! It shows his heart and his love for kids! What a gift we have in Nicky!
Nickenson (who we call Nicky!)
Why did you want to work at AP? Needed a job, and likes the way things are done at AP.
Are you happy working at AP? Yes Why? He feels at home here ( “in his skin!)
What do you enjoy about your job? Lots of different things to do!
What is your dream? He had asked God, if I can have a job, may I work with kids? (He is living his dream!)
Tell me a little about your family. Until recently… Nicky lived with his mom, grandma & 3 brothers. Update! He now has a woman he loves and is a proud father! What a blessing!
What do you love/like about Haiti? True Haitians! It’s his country!
Prayer requests Pray for Haiti.

Mwen se Nickenson Pierre, yo banm yon ti sou non ki se Nicky. Mwen kwè ke jodia se yon fyète li ye pou mwen paske mwen pral pale de Apparent Project, pou sa ke Apparent Project reprezante nan lavi’m e sa Apparent Project fè pou mwen. Mwen kapab di Apparent Project li sanse plis ke yon fanmi pou mwen paske dèfwa ou konn gen yon fanmi, li pa ba ou èd men Apparent Project li bay èd san mezi. Mwen kapab di mwen nan Apparent Project depi 2019. Mwen kapab di 3an sa m pral gen nan Apparent Project sa, mwen konsidere’l tankou 30an pou pwogrè Apparent Project fè’m fè e ceci pwogrè Apparent Project pa sèlman rive sou mwen men li rive sou fanmi’m paske avèk èd ke mwen jwenn nan Apparent Project, mwen ede manman ‘m, mwen ede ti frè ‘m e mwen ede fanmi’m jounen jodi a ladann. mwen di Bondye mèsi paske li fè rèv pam nan reyalize, ki se pou li te fè’m jwenn yon djòb kote pou’m ap travay avèk timoun e efektivman se sa ki rive fèt jounen jodi a, kote ke m’ap travay avèk yon pakèt timoun ke’m renmen anpil e ceci yo renmen ‘m anpil tou. Se tout, ann di, yon fyète pou mwen lè ke mwen menm avèk timoun sa yo, kote ke map ba yo love e yo ap ban’m love tou. Sa fè ‘m plezi anpil. Mwen espere ke Bondye va kontinye beni Marilyn espesyalman ki te chwazi vin mete òganizasyon sa Haiti, ki ap ede non pa sèlman mwen menm, men k’ap ede anpil lòt anplwaye ki te nan difikilte pou, ann di, mwayen ekonomik yo oswa pou lekòl timoun yo oswa pou peye kay. De même pou mwen tou, jounen jodi a mwen pa gen problèm kay ankò se gras ak Apparent Project. E si mwen grangou, Mwen ka jwenn 50 goud pou’m manje jounen jodi a se gras ak Apparent Project. E Apparent Project, m kapab di li fe’m fè anpil pwofi nan lavi’m. Mwen di Bondye mèsi pou sa. Ke Bondye kontinye beni li, pou’l kenbe Apparent Project e fè Apparent Project vin, ann di, pi gwo toujou ke jan li ye a, se sa ke mwen swete pou li. E mwen espere ke Bondye va kontinye kenbe lavi chak grenn sponnsò yo ki toujou fè chwa pou yo ede Apparent Project. Mwen kwè ke yo pap pèdi chwa sa ke yo fè pou yo bay Apparent Project èd. Mwen espere ke Bondye ap kontinye beni lavi yo, l’ap kontinye pwoteje yo nan tout sa ke yo ap fè pou ki travay la ka kontinye fèt. Anpil mèsi pou Marilyn ki pa janm sispann, ann di, ban nou èd li jan ke li menm li kapab malgre li konn gen de mwayen ki konn parèt difisil pou li men li menm, li pa janm sispann chache èd pou nou. nou di li mèsi pou sa. Nou espere ke Bondye va kontinye kenbe lavi li, beni li. E mèsi ankò pou chwa sa ke Bondye fè avè’m, ki se Apparent Project, li fe’m vin ladann e m kontan anpil paske mwen nan fanmi sa, wi nou ap viv an fanmi e nou fyè de fanmi sa ke nou genyen nan Apparent Project a. Mèsi!!!

I’m Nickenson Pierre, they gave me a nickname called Nicky. I believe that today is a pride for me because I will talk about Apparent Project, for what Apparent Project represents in my life and what Apparent Project has done for me. I can say that Apparent Project is more like a family to me because sometimes you have a family, it doesn’t give you help but Apparent Project gives you immeasurable help. I can say that I have been in Apparent Project since 2019. I can say that I will have 3 years in Apparent Project, I consider it like 30 years for the progress Apparent Project has made me do and the progress of Apparent Project is not only happened to me but it happened to my family because with the help that I get from Apparent Project, I help my mother, I help my younger brother and I help my family today. I thank God for making my dream come true, which was to make me find a job where I can work with children and effectively that is what happened today, where I work with many children that I love very much and they love me very much too. It’s, let’s say, a pride for me when I’m with these children, where I’m giving them love and they’re giving me love too. it makes me very happy. I hope that God will continue to bless Marilyn, especially who chose to come and set up this organization in Haiti, which is helping not only me, but many other employees who were in difficulty for, let’s say, their economic means or for the school of their children or house payments. The same for me too, today I no longer have house problems thanks to Apparent Project. And if I’m hungry, I can get 50 gourds to eat today thanks to Apparent Project. And Apparent Project, I can say it made me make a lot of profit in my life. I thank God for that, that God continues to bless it, to keep Apparent Project and make Apparent Project become, let’s say, even bigger than what it is, that’s what I wish for it. And I hope that God will continue to keep the life of every sponsor who still chooses to help Apparent Project. I believe that they will not lose their choice to give Apparent Project help. I hope that God will continue to bless their lives, He will continue to protect them in everything that they are doing so that the work can continue. Thanks a lot to Marilyn who never stopped, let’s say, give us her help as much as she can even if She goes through times that often seem difficult to her but she never stopped looking for help for us. We thank her for that. We hope that God will continue to keep her life, bless her. And thank you again for the choice that God made with me, which is the Apparent Project, He made me join it and I am very happy because I am in this family, yes we live as a family and we are proud of the family that we have in Apparent project. Thank you!!!
