    This program, didntchange my life, it helpeddefine it. Not only by

    equipping me with thetrade skills of plummer, but withthe necessary experience to sus-

    tain a successful career as a skilltradesman, Hillaire Godson, ayoung distinguished beneficiary

    from our reinsertion programdefinitely set his self apart from

    his peers.

    January,12th ,2010 changed the

    course of Godson life forever, a

    refugee currently living in displace-

    ment camp of Jean Marie Vincent,

    filled with dreams of what his fu-

    ture would hold had to plainly put

    his life on hold after the devastat-

    ing earthquake of January 12th.

    Godson elaborated on how this

    program not only equipped a tech-

    nical trade, but served as a means

    for receiving a global education,

    gaining valuable work experience

    and changing the course of his

    life forever.

    Godson elaborated on how thisprogram not only equipped a

    technical trade in plumbing, butserved as a means for receiving aglobal education, gaining valuable

    work experience and changing

    the course of his life forever.

    A bit more about Godson Hil-

    laire:

    -Born on June 9th , 1989.

    -Wants to be remembered for

    his talent, sincerity and discipline

    -His idol: Nelson Mandela

    -Favorite word: equanimity- tran-

    quility of spirit

    Each person has their lot in life,

    at HPCD we believe that re-gardless of where life hasplaced you it doesnt need to

    define your future. The earthquake of

    January literally transformed and dis-placed the lives of hundreds of thou-sands people in the metropolitan

    area.

    HPCD is working to ensure that in

    spite inconveniences of the youth

    living in displacement camps, there is

    opportunity to go to a respected

    trade school and gain valuable experi-

    ences at premier construction compa-

    nies and in the country.
