Espoir is committed to a standard of excellence in education for children in less developed countries. Our first after-school sites will be established in 10 Caribbean countries with six sites in each country. Three high schools in each country will be selected along with three elementary schools. These sites will provide after-school programs for 80 students.
In order to help students reach their maximum potential, Espoir plans to offer tutoring to students who have academic difficulties. Recreational sessions will provide them with another outlet to express themselves creatively, whether through basketball, soccer, art, poetry, debating or even journalism.
The academic year will begin with a Light on Youth celebration to welcome all the participants and get them excited for what lies ahead. Espoir will also hold two separate parent appreciation days to encourage the children’s families to get and stay involved in their education. The year will conclude with an awards ceremony, honoring Espoir’s students and staff.
