August 26th, 2005 -- CCH-FSCAA - Meeting with Prof. Jacques Desravines on the scholarship issue
On August 26, 2005, the Board of Directors of the CCH-FSCAA, Inc. represented by its president Dr. Karl Dormesy, its treasurer Mario Deller and one of its public relations agents Dr. Jean-Marie Desrosiers, met with Professor Jacques Desravines from Haiti. Prof. Desravines is also a special advisor to the Board.

It was a very productive meeting that lasted about two hours. The order of the day was the setting of guidelines and procedures governing the awarding of scholarships to students attending the Brothers of the Sacred Heart schools. It was agreed that the program would start with beneficiaries from the College Canado-Haitien, covering both the academic and technical sections, before being extended in the near future to other institutions of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart.

The conditions of eligibility and the selection criteria of prospective candidates were set. They will be publicized in a variety of ways at the school. One of the prospective alternatives to do so is via the booklet published by Canado entitled "Guide de l'étudiant". Mentioning the conditions of eligibility and the selection criteria in this booklet will ensure instant awareness to the school population.

A formal letter will be sent by the CCH-FSCAA, Inc. to the Provincial Director Brother Joseph Alexandre S.C. and the Provincial Advisory Board requesting their approval and their cooperation toward making this noble endeavor a success.

The CCH-FSCAA, Inc. continues to work tirelessly toward achieving its goal which is to INSPIRE, EDUCATE, SHARE AND FACILITATE.

December 4th, 2004 -- Promo 73's Celebration
Dr. Jean-Marie Desrosiers, as usual, did an outstanding job updating us about Promo '73 celebration and other happenings. We, on our part, are always full of anticipation to listen to his briefings. The traveling Jean-Marie does a tremendous job, in person, linking our different chapters (USA, Canada and Haiti so far). Thanks Jean-Marie for your initiatives.

During his visit in Haiti, Jean-Marie also acted on the opportunity to meet and talk with current Brothers of Sacred Heart officials namely Brother Superior Joseph Alexandre, S.C. who is the Provincial Director of Brothers of the Sacred Heart in Haiti, Brother Fritz Casséus, S.C., Director of Canado-Haitian College's Technical Section and Prof. Jacques Desravines. The talk's topics included how we at CCH-FSCAA and they can establish a certain connection in order to effectively arrive at the positive difference we are all looking for. The photos below captured moments of that visit.

The most significant results obtained by the committees were as follows:

(1)

Since the mega-event (General Assembly) organized by the CCH-FSCAA commitee on April 25th 2004, at the church of Saint Boniface (Long Island), the CCH-FSCAA continued to multiply its efforts in order to organize more events of that nature. Our chief goal is to promote, at the early stage, the level of excellence within the Canado-Haitian College and the other Brothers of the Sacred-Heart schools as well. At a later point in time, the goal will extend to include all other schools in Haiti because "tant vaut l'ecole, tant vaut la nation".

The active participation of CCH-FSCAA U.S.A at the celebrations in honor of Frère Jean Laliberté, S.C. as a sign of gratitude to him for his 53 years of educational services in Haiti. The event took place last August 14th in Montreal, Canada. The Board of Directors in Canada achieved an enormous and commendable milestone. They utilized the opportunity to announce the creation of awards that will be given to teachers and students on an annual basis. They are the following:

Jean Laliberté Awards: to the Teacher of the Year who will be recognized for his Excellence in teaching at the Canado-Haitian College and/or the Brothers of the Sacred-Heart schools.

Jacques Desravines Award: for a student's Excellence in the Sciences.

Wesner Emmanuel Award: for a student's Excellence in Literature.

As funds augment, the Association will figure out other categories for awards distribution such as Sports Award, Arts Award etc.
