Letter to Parents from Principal Tony DeKoter
Thursday, January 28, 2010 A.D.
Dear Parents,
Our school is experiencing growing pains. The number of children back to school is beyond our expectation. If your child is out of Haiti, please enroll them in school there. We do not have space for more at the present time. If you wish to return next year, a spot will be held for you. We will not be accepting anymore enrollments at this time, but your name may be placed on a waiting list and we are reassessing space every day. The enrollment is closed at this time since we do not have the physical space available to us for classroom use.
We have taught the students in the past to serve in their communities. As a school community we are putting our talk into action – letting our light shine. That’s also a school focus at this time. It is expected that the number of medical teams we are serving will grow smaller in the days, weeks, months ahead, as will the number of our national workers living on the school campus. God has used and is using this school His wonders to perform. Praise Him!
School hours will be from 8 A.M. – 3 P.M. Please be punctual so that your children are in class on time and also are picked up on time at the end of the school day. No later than 3:30 P.M. Help us to do our task by being punctual.
School is on. The academic focus will continue to increase as well as learning to use the resources of the people on the QCS campus and have them tell the students their story – What brought them here? Why are they serving in Haiti? What type of education/schooling did they receive? What kind of doctor are they? What is their field of specialization?
Thank you for your support and encouragement during these difficult times. Together we go forward building and rebuilding, not only physical structures, but also the lives of the children entrusted to us. Please direct questions to tdekoter@quisqueya.org.
Serving Him,
Walking in His SonShine in Haiti

thank you ill be willing to come next year may the Lord bless you for all that you guys have done.
Iread how you are caring for the emotional needs of many from the quake. Being a mom from luekemia camp in WI with a 4-year-old, I remember Teddy Bear therapy and dressing up with cowboy scarves for a cowboy celebration one evening. We had guitar music, cowboy grub, theatrical skits, and a bonfire with marshmallows. You are on my heart for many reasons. I have worked this week with a Haitian Church, Mesa, AZ, packing clothes for the FED EX who promised to pack and ship 5 55′ trailers for Haiti. Did you know the mayor of Carrefour gave the keys to the city to the missionary Terry and Cary Nelson? I talked to Cary on Orlando last Sunday. Mayor bulldozed the lot next to their church for the tents from China. They have been in Haiti 28 years. We are praying people get hungry for God. Love. Barb.
