Schooling Christian Haitians Out of Love, Inc. (acronym S.C.H.O.O.L.) was founded by Kathi Caton Thompson of Avon, Maine in March of 2007.
The foundation of this program was inspired while on a church building mission trip to LaBruyere, Haiti. Pastor Dorlean had asked a friend to take pictures of the children in his community. He explained that he had been praying to find a way for the children to be able to attend school. Many parents of the students attending school were unable to pay their child’s tuition. The lack of consistent pay made it difficult to keep qualified teachers. My heart was moved and I felt God calling me to action.
By the time I left, I had discussed the needs with Pastor Dorlean in LaBruyere and Pastor Degonzague of a neighboring school in Lassoudray and shared my desire to try to help them. I explained that I own a small electrical supply distributorship in Maine and had no experience with this venture. God would take the lead and we would move forward in His timing. Here we are always seeking God’s guidance as we continue His program.
