This program, didntchange my life, it helpeddefine it. Not only by

equipping me with thetrade skills of plumber, but withthe necessary experience to sus-tain a successful career as askilled tradesman, Hillaire God-son, a young distinguished benefi-ciary from our reinsertion pro-gram has definitely set his self

apart from his peers.

January,12th ,2010 changed the

course of Godsons life forever, a

refugee currently living in displace-

ment camp of Jean Marie Vincent,

filled with dreams of what his fu-

ture would hold had to plainly put

his life on hold after the devastat-

ing earthquake of January 12th.

Godson elaborated on how this

program not only equipped a tech-

nical trade, but served as a means

for receiving a global education,

gaining valuable work experience

and changing the course of his

life forever.

This program has brought stabil-ity to Godsons life and has fu-

eled new ambitions for his life.After his internship, Godsonplans to study civil engineering at

a reputable university in the met-ropolitan region. Godson believesthis program should be imple-

mented on a national level. Thisopportunity is invaluable and is

transforming our society forever.

A bit more about Godson Hillaire:

-Born on June 9th , 1989.-Wants to be remembered for his

talent, sincerity and discipline

-His idol: Nelson Mandela-Favorite word: equanimity- tran-

quility of spirit

Each person has their lot in life,at HPCD we believe that re-gardless of where life hasplaced you, it doesnt need to

define your future. The earthquake ofJanuary literally transformed and dis-placed the lives of hundreds of thou-sands people in the metropolitan

area.

HPCD is working to ensure that in

spite of inconveniences for the youth

living in displacement camps, there is

an opportunity to go to a respected

trade school and gain valuable experi-

ences at premier construction compa-

nies in the Port-au-Prince area.
