Preparing for his future- because he didnt want to rely on others his whole life.
Being so wise and all, I asked him what advice he would give to young boys in Haiti Specifically boys growing up in an orphanage. He said, I would tell them to study and to focus on their education. It is a blessing that they are going to school and they should not waste that time. Education is very important to Jetro. In the 11th grade, he is very committed to his studies, he loves school and does extremely well. He dreams of the day when he can help contribute to the education system in Haiti. More than anything though, Jetro dreams of being in a position where he can help others in the same way that people have helped him all his life. I want to help people that are in need, because it has been a long time that people have been helping me. So now I want to help others, he said. Whether that is working to better improve the Haitian education system or taking care of his family who once took care of him as a child, Jetro knows that serving others is what God has called him to do. I am truly honored to know Jetro and I am praying that God will use Jetro in BIG ways to help this country. I also pray that Emmaus House can be a stepping -stone into his future- a place for him to prepare for the greater things yet to come. If you would like to be a part of Jetros journey, he is still in need of partial sponsorship. Sponsoring Jetro would help provide for his food and medical needs, education, as well as his weekly salary based on our Level System program. But more than financial support, Jetro could use people rooting him on and praying specifically for him on a daily basis. Like I said, I believe that God is preparing Jetro to do BIG things.
Jetro is still in need of partial sponsorship at Emmaus House. If you are interested in becoming one of his sponsors, please contact Jillian Kittrell for more information at KittrellsinHaiti@gmail.com
