The story of the Institution Mixte de Regnier (IMR) was recently shared in an article from Le Nouvelliste, a Haitian newspaper. Written by Valery Daudier, the article details a brief history of the school and the impacts of the earthquake. The article can be read here: https://lenouvelliste.com/article/231277/limr-la-seule-ecole-de-regnier-detruite-par-le-seisme and is written in French, though Internet browsers such as Google Chrome and Safari may translate the article to your preferred language.

We would like to thank Le Nouvelliste for featuring this story. If you are interested in supporting our organization as we rebuild, please visit our GoFundMe page: https://gofund.me/0c1247ac

Help Us Rebuild the Institution Mixte de Regnier

thelerann@gmail.com — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 21:54:10 +0000

Institution Mixte de Regnier is more than just a K-13 school. Its contributions to the nearby community are seen in its use as a multipurpose facility, reception hall, and even shelter in the face of hurricanes.

The 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on Saturday destroyed the school’s main building and structurally compromised the cafeteria and pre-school. The financial burden to clear out the rubble and rebuild is especially significant, as recent fundraising efforts were used to support general school operations.

Please consider donating to our organization so we may strengthen and return this school and critical cultural center back to the community. You can donate to our organization through direct payments through Zelle by sending donations to acr@acrhaiti.net or through our mailing address:

ACR
PO Box 1257
Baldwin, NY, 11510

Additionally, donations can be made to our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/9b94665c

We thank you for your generosity and consideration!

Happy New Year!

Season’s Greetings ACR Family,

We do hope that you and your loved ones are well at the beginning of this new year. We wanted to provide an update for the Association for the Children of Regnier Haiti’s school. Institution Mixte de Regnier reopened on August 10th to end the 2019-2020 school year. The 9th and 13th graders scored an average of 80% on their Haiti’s Board of Education National Exams. The 2020-2021 school year began on November 9th and we have over 300 students!

In this new year, we ask that you remember ACR Haiti in your plans; it’s important to stop and reflect on the joy and blessings in your own life and also being aware that not everyone is so fortunate. With that in mind, please consider setting aside part of your budget to support the work of ACR Haiti with a tax-deductible charitable donation.

We’re proud to announce that we are happy participants of Amazon Smile, where a portion of purchases goes toward ACR Haiti: http://smile.amazon.com/ch/11-3254308
