MEDOR’S EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS STORY We celebrate a wonderful milestone in Medor, Haiti: ten students who attended Medor's primary and secondary school and who then went on to become university graduates are now serving their community, sharing their knowledge and skill. Among them are two agronomists, four teachers, a microcredit manager, a nurse, a veterinarian, and a management intern. This achievement is truly remarkable—before Medor’s secondary school opened in 2003, very few Medor students had the opportunity to study beyond the 6th grade. These graduates embody the hope and progress made possible through education and the steadfast support of both St. Joseph parish and Our Lady Queen of Peace. Thank you to all for your support of Medor’s schools. Please pray for peace and security in Haiti.

ECO-TIP: Leave the leaves! A layer of leaves in your yard can bring big benefits. It provides shelter and insulation for many animals and insects. The leaves also provide insulation for the soil and can be mulched. As the leaves decay, they'll provide valuable nutrients and keep your lawn healthy and fertile. If too "messy" for your front yard, try it in the back!
