High School Buddies

Within walking distance of Angel House is a Christian school called Quisqueya. Quisqueya School is associated with Port au Prince Fellowship Church where many of our mission teams attend service on Sunday mornings. It is a K-12 school; which serves missionary families and the Haitian bourgeois in the Port au Prince area.

Most recently, Angel House and Quisqueya School have teamed up to work together. The first Thursday of each month, 10th graders come to work with the children at Angel House. The ratio of teens to orphans is 1 to 1, so the children are getting lots of attention! In addition, the children have been paired up with the students for the school year allowing everyone to form a special bond.

This month the teens played group games with the kids, ate lunch with them, went crazy with stickers and face paint. They played with the giant parachute and decorated cupcakes. The kids loved the attention and affection and cannot wait for their High School Buddies to return.
