My name is Shedelyne Petit. I entered the New Life Technical College in 2020 and graduated in 2022 with a diploma in Touristic Hosting. 

Since making a career in tourism, my dream was to be a part of a few students to serve as one of the school’s representatives at the Tourism Regional Summit in 2022.

As I dedicated myself wholeheartedly for tourism, I am making my living as a tour guide with our incoming visitors to Haiti. I am currently working as one of the leaders of Haiti New Life Tourism Department.  I will do everything I can to excel in this field by promoting tourism and share the gospel when opportunity arises.

My name is Daniel Julien. I was born and raised in a poor family. When I grew up, I thought my life would turn out to be a disaster because I could not foresee how I would be able to pay for a technical college or university where I desired to be a tour guide.  Everywhere I looked it was very expensive. Therefore, I was concerned for my future. I have heard of an excellent college called New Life Technical College located in the Vaudreuil areas for an affordable price, I registered with them back in 2020. Two years later, I got my Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management. 

After my graduation, I was hired as a customer service employee at a prestigious hotel called “Lakou Breda” in the Cap-Haitian. My job was to welcome, assist customers, provide food, beverages, and to ensure that they were satisfied through attentive service. I also take visitors on to some of our beautiful sites here in Haiti. 

In addition, I am teaching staff the many things I have learned through my training with HNLM. Their goal is to raise up the next Haitian generation to change Haitians and to stay in Haiti.  Thanks to the New Life Technical College and staff.

Yranel Francois is a young man who came to New Life Technical College to study agriculture. When the registration officer asked him for the registration fee, he said that he doesn’t have it, but he would like to study.  The registration officer did not know what to do about that case so she asked Dr. Lucner, the Haiti New Life Ministries director. 

Dr. Lucner had compassion as he understood what it meant to have nothing and said we should give him a chance. Dr. Lucner paid the registration fee for him out of his own pocket (500 gourdes which is about $5).   He dedicated all his efforts to learn and be a good student in the agriculture program.  Yranel received a scholarship with the understanding, as long as he has good grades, he will not be asked to drop out.  

During his first year of study, Yranel put into practice everything he learned from his classroom and ended up growing “Cocoa.”  With the cocoa crops, Yranel was able to find money to pay for his second year of the program and he was able to provide:  food for his community, making money to help his family, and providing some money to help pay for some new students.  Today, Yranel is a well-respected man in his community because of what he is producing.
