Haiti Reforestation Programme Stage #2

SOWING SEEDS OF SUCCESS HAITI REFORESTATION PROGRAMME - STAGE #2

Introduction:

United Caribbean Trust (UCT) o ver the years UCT has injected an enormous amount of sweat equity into laying the foundations for our 'Sowing Seeds of Success' Haiti Reforestation programme.

Ms. Jenny Tryhane, Founder and CEO of UCT has personally visited Haiti on six occasions, establishing a massive network of schools and churches that we partnered with initially in our Stage #1 of our 'Sowing Seeds of Success' Haiti Reforestation' programme.

During Stage #1 the entire curriculum will have been well tested, 31,880 children impacted, 32,560 Moringa trees planted and 9,793 fruit trees planted and 960 new Sowing Seeds of Success Clubs established. With fully trained teachers all equipped with the 34 week curriculum.

Haiti Reforestation Children's Curriculum with Creole Visual Aids

UCT has been working on creating this multi-lingual one year children's curriculum now for over a year. This curriculum will have been tested in Stage #1. It is subdivided into three terms to compliment the child's school term as well as a three week Summer Camp programme.

'Sowing Seeds of Success' Haiti Reforestation Children's Programme:

This programme will be sponsored and supported by United Caribbean Trust and Special Treasures our Haitian charity and will be divided into four Phases.

CENTRAL ZONE

St Marc
Dessalines
Gonaives X2

NORTHERN ZONE

Anse Rouge
Bombardopois
Port-de-Paix
Cap Haitien.

United Caribbean Trust has established excellent connections in these town with contacts in schools, orphanages and churches. Years of humanitarian work and training has positioned us to now implement this excellent 'Sowing Seeds of Success' Haiti children's reforestation programme Stage #2.

Links have been provided below to demonstrate some of our many visits to Haiti.

Two teachers will be recommended and interviewed from each town within our vast network of churches and schools in these two zones.

They must be bilingual, have an American visa and have experience with children's ministry.

Years ago United Caribbean Trust established an Haitian charity called Special Treasures the Haitian arm of United Caribbean Trust

All funding will be channeled through Special Treasures for clarity and transparency.

Phase #1

Due to the recent increase in violence and kidnapping in Haiti it has become too dangerous for UCT staff to travel to Haiti to do this intensive training so we are proposing that these teachers be sponsored to come to our base Headquarters in Barbados to complete a 4 month in house and on the ground training prior to returning to Haiti.

UCT will provide flights to Barbados, food and lodging as well as a small stipend of US $150 per month to cover personal expenses when on island. All training will be done by professionally trained children's ministers, personally or online. Training will be similar to Stage #1 and will include teaching in numerous children's ministries, horticulture, as well as disaster management with an online Crisis Response International (CRI) training.

This online training will be a crucial part of the Phase 1 training and will compliment our children's Post Traumatic Stress programme 'Heal a Hurting Heart'

Written in French/Creole especially for the terrible earthquake that impacted Haiti recently. There is also a hurricane and COVID version in French/Creole.

Training like in Stage #1 will involve 'in house teaching', online and in person teaching as well as 'on the job experience' within the same 5 communities in Barbados - New Orleans, Emmerton, Deacons, Gall Hill and Eden Lodge. A minimum of 3 teachers plus a local Community outreach trainer will teach Monday to Friday 16.00 to 18.00. This second semester will repeat this exercise but with the second curriculum 'Super Fruits' The third semester will teach the Go and Grow Series and the final semester will teach the Spiritual Growth and New Life Series.

Creating French and Haitian Creole recourses:

• Continue to translate into French and Haitian Creole the many UCT curriculums available for translation.

• Continue translate the Kids in Ministry International curriculum in French and Haitian Creole.

• Working with local musicians to establish more Haitian Creole children's praise and worship chorus music videos in our in house recording studio.

• Creating Creole voiceovers on children's animated educational videos with English subtitles.

• Continuing creating Creole PowerPoints, colouring pages and take home tracks for Bible for Children to compliment our many French/Creole curriculums.

• Assist in creating Creole activity books to assist with teaching the curriculum.

Training in Horticulture, Seed Germination and Fruit tree grafting:

• Moringa health and medicinal benefits, many educational handouts in need of translation.

• Super Fruits education

• Training on grafting fruit tree

• Be introduced to numerous online websites that teach creative ways to teach the plant life cycle to children all of which will compliment our 'Sowing Seeds of Success' curriculum .

We Are Teachers

• Online training with the 'Kitchen Garden Foundation' on how to establish a Kitchen Garden Program in your school

Training For Schools | Kitchen Garden

French/Haitian Creole curriculum production:

Each teacher will assist with the creation of the curriculum including all props needed for the program. Each teacher will be given three of each of the curriculums to return to Haiti to commence the implementation aspect of this training.

• 'Sowing Seeds of Success' - 12 Part Series

• 'Super Fruits' - 12 Part series

• 'Grow and Go' - 12 Part Series

• 'Spiritual Growth' and New Life - 13 Part Series

• 'Heal a Hurting Heart' Earthquake Post Traumatic Stress - 15 Part curriculum (optional for south west Haiti following their recent earthquake)

• 'Heal a Hurting Heart' Hurricane Post Traumatic Stress - 15 Part curriculum (optional for Central Haiti regularly impacted by storms such as Hurricane Matthew )

• 'Heal a Hurting Heart' Covid 19 Post Traumatic Stress - 15 Part curriculum (optional for all areas impacted by the Pandemic.)

Phase #2

All our Haitian graduates will return to Haiti having enjoyed the last two weeks in Barbados on holiday enjoying the beauty of our beautiful Caribbean island home.

They will be employed at the going rate of employment for a teacher in Haiti which is currently US $100 per month. We will increase that to $150 per month to compensate for the traveling that will be involved in this aspect of the six month Phase #2 curriculum implementation stage.

The two teachers from each town in the two Haitian Zones will return with their curriculum packs. Pastor Pierre Bannes Laurore, our UCT Haiti Representative and a Director of Special Treasures, will have negotiated with his regional network to establish three pilot projects in three schools or churches in each town in the two zones over a 6 month period.

CENTRAL ZONE, including St Marc, Dessalines and Gonaives X2 in the central zone

NORTHERN ZONE, including Anse Rouge, Bombardopois, Port-de-Paix and Cap Haitien.

20 children will be allocated to take part in each pilot project per school or church. This will involve two afternoons per week in two school, plus one afternoon per week and a Saturday Sowing Seeds of Success Club in the third school.

After every afternoon session the teachers meet, via Zoom, to assess how successful the lesson was and any improvements that can be suggested.

All printing will be done in Les Cayes and will be supervised by Pastor Pierre Bannes Laurore who is based there and has a Printing Business and whose school and church will be involved in the Pilot Project in Les Cayes.

A Programme Manager has been earmarked who has been our UCT translator since 2009 and he will travel between the two Zones visiting each town once a fortnight to identify any problems that may be arising and assisting where needed. He will directly communicate with UCT to update us on the progress. His job will be US $500 per month and include a car.

Each pair of teachers will be equipped with a laptop to enable them to download the videos for the songs to be sung as well as the educational videos that can be downloaded from our website. Most of the schools or churches involved in the Pilot Project will have a monitor or TV so the laptop can be connected and the children can enjoy the teaching. This laptop will also be used for Zoom meetings.

Additional stipends will be paid to help cover additional expenses during this Phase #2 Pilot Project including crayons, paper, pens markers, glue etc that may be needed to assist with the creation of visual aids needed to teach the lessons.

Additional expenses will be covered by Special Treasures including drinks and snacks for the children during the 6 month Phase #2. Two weeks holiday will be taken at the end prior to Phase #3.

Special Treasures will sponsor Phase #3 which includes two 3 weeks Summer Camps per town in each Zone.

Phase #3

Following a two week holiday at the end of Phase #2 the teachers will begin the Summer Camp programme. This is done during the Summer Holidays. The teachers will work with two local summer camps to impliment the final curriculum prior to printing.

Three week 'Summer Camp' Programme (15 sessions will be tested.)

• Grow and Go Series Introducing Natural Growth - 1 session (To be translated)

• Grow and Go Spiritual Growth - 5 Part Series (To be translated)

• 'FunTastic Fun Fair' Afternoon session (To be translated)

• New Life curriculum - 8 Part Series (To be translated)

Phase #4

Following the three weeks children's Summer Camp project the teachers will embark on the final leg - Phase #4 to complete their one year contract. This is a vital part of their training to teach other teachers that are interested in introducing this Sowing Seeds of Success Haiti Reforestation Programme into their schools, orphanages or churches. This is the final empowerment and equipping aspect of this project.

Half day workshops will have been organized in advance using Pastor Bannes vast network of schools, orphanages and churches in the two Zones. Half day workshops will be hosted from 12 noon to 6pm with a break for tea and snacks in the afternoon. It is uncertain how many of these can be organizes and how many teachers will be interested in coming to the workshops, but from past experience there is such a shortage of good children's ministry teaching and material in Creole that the response was overwhelming.

Each ministry, school or orphanage taught in these half day workshops will be provided with a 'Sowing Seeds of Success' pack which will mean the teachers are not only empowered but equipped with all that they need to introduce this year long programme into their organization.

This programme can easily flow into our Heal a Hurting Heart curriculum and the new teachers/Sunday school teachers/Orphanage aids will be taught about this curriculum and can be issued with it in the future if they want to embark in this curriculum be it for Post Traumatic Stress for a hurricane in the Central and Northern Zone or COVID stress that the children are dealing with following this pandemic.

Reforestation:

UCT is hoping to be able to establish a fruit plant nursery in each Zone to be able to continue to sponsor these new schools, orphanages or churches embarking on our Sowing Seeds of Success Haiti Reforestation Programme, by supplying them each with the 12 Super Fruit saplings as they embark on the project.

Long term UCT is hoping to be able to purchase some agriculture land in these two zones, initially, to establish a Moringa Estate and Moringa processing plant, as part of our "Food For Life Caribbean"

Manufacturing organic Moringa tea, Dried Moringa Powder to add to cooking as well as Moringa soap and cream for cosmetic purposes. We have established a European market to sell these Moringa products to bring in additional revenue to continue to fund this excellent reforestation programme.

Summary:

• 16 teachers will graduated from our one year Programme from two Zones within Haiti

• 5 Barbadian communities in Phase #1 will benefit from the 12 week 'Sowing Seeds of Success' Moringa programme. Planting hundreds of Moringa trees in these impoverished Barbadian communities and educating the people of the nutritional and medicinal benefits of this 'Miracle Tree'

• 480 Haitian children will take part in the Phase #2 Pilot Project to test the curriculum prior to being printed in mass. Resulting in 480 Benzoliv trees being planted at home or in the school/church or orphanage is possible.

• 12 small Super Fruit trees will be donated to each school/church or orphanage taking part in the Phase #2 Pilot Project resulting in 288 fruit trees being planted, establishing 32 orchards within the school/church or orphanage if possible as part of our School Kitchen Garden programme.

• "Food For Life - Haiti Benzoliv

• Following Phase #4 it is impossible to assess how many new ministries, schools or orphanages that will be trained and equipped to embark in this 'Sowing Seeds of Success Haiti Reforestation Project'. Resulting in thousands of Benzoliv trees and Super Fruit trees being planted in the two Zones in Haiti

• These 32 teachers from the two Stages will continue to be sponsored to allow them to continue the excellent work in Haiti, training and teaching other teachers and equipping them in this wonderful programme.

" You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others ."
