  Fraternite des Jeunes

Les Cayes, Haiti

"The Boys"

The most important part of the Fraternite des Juenes (FJ) are the boys that live there.  These are our pride and joy, the boys we support, and an extended part of our family at Saint Mary's:  Their school grades are as of September 2004, given their successful completion of last's year's studies.

FJ has a total capacity to house 16 boys. The pictures on the left were taken in the summer of 2003; those on the left were taken in August of 2004 and the last picture were taken in July 2006.  Notice the change in the boys who were recent arrivals during the summer of 2003 to 2004.  Our help is noticeable not only in their size, but also their demeanor in front of a camera; they evidence greater confidence after spending a year at FJ!

Kay P.P. Following our pastor's Pastoral Visit in July 2002, we used a local house that our boys affectionately named Kay PP. This used to house those boys who are too old for FJ, but to whom we wish to continue our commitment and a supporting relationship.  Following our parish visit in January of 2006, the boys returned to FJ where they assist in the caring for the younger boys as well as chores around the home.  Please click on the thumbnail for a larger view.
