EMNV
Haiti
After starting a church in the slum of Merger de Sibert in 1997, Johny and Rosadite Philippe saw the need for a school in the community where the vast majority of children had never had any formal education. Ecole Mixte Nouvelle Vie (EMNV) began meeting in 2005 in the single room church building, operating under very limited conditions due to the low economic level of the famlies whose children attended. The school quickly grew and began having an impact on the community.
The school continued to grow, and after three years there were ninety students. In May 2009, Glenwood started the Merger Student Sponsorship Program and all ninety students were sponsored by individuals and families from Glenwood. The school has continued to flourish and currently there are over 400 students attending the school in kindergarten through grade 9. Glenwood sponsors over 200 of those students.
Glenwood’s objective for the sponsorship program is to help EMNV succeed in its vision of providing the children of Merger solid Christian academic teaching so they would bless their community, country and world for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
