Our pages are undergoing updates and all links may not operate properly. We are hard at work to give you more information about Halo and will have all pages operating soon. ABOUT HALO Halo Learning,
Inc. is a faith based organization that is passionate about continuing the
Great Commission by bringing books to readers of all ages in Haiti, and the
Dominican Republic. Halo’s books are printed in the Creole language as well as
French, Spanish and English. Many are multilingual.
Halo's roots began
several years ago by sponsoring a few elementary school students through Compassion
International. Today Halo sponsors students of other missionary
organizations in Haiti as well as our own. Most original Halo students
from years ago have finished high school, and are studying at universities in
Haiti and the Dominican Republic. SPONSORING
STUDENTS There
are hundreds of elementary and primary schools operated by numerous NGO’s in
Haiti. However, there are almost no programs to support post secondary or older
students, for trade schools or university education. Halo has focused on this
age group and has graduated doctors, nurses, computer science majors and
business managers. We have a long list of other young adults waiting to be a
part of the Halo Learning program. A few
are listed here. (Link waiting student)   FUTURE DR. DAMINEDA Many Halo students are supported by your generous
donations. But there are so many more that could be helped. Because the need is
so great a growing source of funding for students comes from our printing and
publishing activities. Halo continues to support even more student by
publishing and printing IN HAITI. This
all started years ago from numerous requests for a text in the Creole language
to teach students English without going to a formal language school. The result
was the publishing of our landmark English text Ann Pale
Anglè. Today there is an extensive
library of discipleship materials, text books for schools, language books, and
a wide variety of educational works on everything from veterinary medicine,
micro-finance FUTURE DR. BOURDEAU and community development techniques. MILLIONS of pages and thousands of books have
been printed IN HAITI by Halo. Our goal is to make the written word in Creole
available at prices within the reach of all. MULTILINGUAL IMPORTANCEMore and more organizations are saying that Haiti’s
educational crisis can be eased by educating the nation’s children primarily in
Creole, which all students and teachers truly understand..We feel Creole should
be the language of instruction. Knowledge of other languages, especially
Spanish and English is important in the 21st century world. Yes
we do print in French too.
Haiti is
surrounded by 100’s of millions of people that speak neither Creole nor French.
In today’s shrinking world it is even more important to be able to communicate
in more than one language. Ability in only one language is not enough for
economic development, to break down cultural barriers, attain educational
success and economic security. Halo provides learning opportunities in
mono-lingual and multi-lingual books in the two most widely spoken languages in
this hemisphere: Spanish and English. Several of our students speak FOUR LANGUAGES
fluently- English,Creole, French and Spanish.
PRINTING TO
SUPPORT STUDENTS
Our primary focus is providing educational assistance to
young adults from your donations but we
are also heavily invested in the printing business to support these students. You might say the “tail is now wagging the
dog.” Halo Publishing prints thousands of books not only for our selves
but for others in Haiti–NGO’s, missionaries, churches, schools and libraries. Available
from our library are discipleship materials, educational texts and motivational
books Here are just a few that we
recenty have published BOOKS AVAILABLE Halo can format, print and publish
books for you in Haiti at a fraction of the cost of US prices and no shipping
costs! There are many bools from
publishing houses outside of Haiti but they are expensive and almost never seen
in school classrooms. Shipping the books to Haiti adds to an already
unreachable cost of these items.
