L’ECOLE DE CHOIX-SCHOOL OF CHOICE IN HAITI

At L’Ecole de Choix, The School of Choice, we partner with Haitians to educate and develop Haitian youth to lead their communities, Haiti and the world. L’Ecole de Choix believes in the paramount sustainability of education and therefore invests in the next generation of Haitian leaders by providing them with high quality leadership development education, and by empowering them to shape their own future and those of their communities, to develop their own choices and, ultimately, to change the world. Choix students succeed through developing their own voices and identities. Choix empowers its students to make educated and informed decisions about their lives, which will impact the very future of Haiti.

Hearts

The goal of my shows, my businesses, my philanthropy, all of it, whatever ventures I might pursue, would be to make clear that what unites us is ultimately far more redeeming and compelling than anything that separates me.
