Last year, the Bs Manold Fund was able to pay for the schooling of 15 students, including 2 college students, with your generous support. Many of those students we plan to continue supporting this school year as well. Overall, your donations last year of over $7000 continued our mission of inspiring a new generation of productive and responsible citizens in Haiti.

Alumni Update
Jimmy Forest graduated from college in 2010 in electrical engineering. In the spring of 2011, Jimmy went to the Dominican Republic to learn Spanish. He returned to Haiti in the summer of 2011 and helped the Bs Manold Fund to choose our scholarship students for this year. Just recently Jimmy got a job as an electrician with Partners in Health (PIH). Jimmy will be working with Partners in Health to build their new hospital in Mirebalais. We're very proud of Jimmy for this exciting new job!
Institution Mixte - Le Renouveau
This year, in order to better track and support our students, we have decided to send all of our grade school students to the same school. We chose Institution Mixte Le Renouveau, the best school in Vialet. With this concentration of students in one school, we will be able to learn quickly if any of our students are falling behind so we can provide them with extra support. We will also be able to streamline our report card monitoring processes, and our finance & operations logistics.

Letter from Jimmy Forest, our Haitian in-country manager
Hello Everyone,
Its always a pleasure for me to write you just to thank you for your determination in helping us in Haiti every year. I can tell you that we understand your sacrifices even if you dont have enough means. For that, I can see your humanism is very motivated in supporting us in Haiti to have hope before and after the earthquake. In Haiti, as you know, the situation is worse where there are a lot of young who lose hope to have a good life. But we are a people who have a lot courage. Despite all, we believe that the best way we can change our life is by education.
We choose this moment to thank you for your sacrifices, respect, and your belief in the Bos Manold Fund, because you have never discouraged to help us in Haiti. You have chosen the best way to help us in Haiti when you choose to help us to have education. With education, we can change our life and give another opportunity to Haiti to have a new face in the future. Nowadays we can meet many Haitians who dont have possibilities, but your efforts are giving people a chance. Bos Manold Fund is always encouraging Haitians to make efforts to get good grades in their school because we are sensitive for your help because we know of a sacrifices that you are making every day to help us. We respect that and Bos Manold wants to keep on thanking you every year because we know that everything is not easy in the USA but you are fighting to help us anyway in Haiti . We believe that you have the same will to continue helping us in the Bos Manold fund. Please dont discourage with us in Haiti because your helps permits a lot of children to avoid participating in bad things. Nowadays, there are more people who dont have the education, and they feel obliged to have child very soon and smoke, and they get bad ideas because simply they dont really know exactly the best way to be in their life. So your help has much good importance for us. We would like that God always continues protecting and offering you the possibility to help us.
Thank you so much and keep hanging in there in supporting us in Haiti. The only gift that we can give is our gratitude by praying to God for you and making effort to give to you good grades, and staying as good example for other people in sharing our knowledge with other who dont have the possibility too.
