On October 7th the Fall 2013 semester and the beginning of a life-changing journey, was launched. THE SPARK of Le Flambeau is a unique language exchange initiative in its sixth year, born from the collaborative efforts of Le Flambeau Foundation , student leaders, IT advisers and volunteer educators.
The objective of the program is to help with language fluency, cultural exchange, and overall growth; serving as a college and job preparatory tool. This particular session revolves around an English/French dialogue where students in and from Haiti are writing in English and students in the U.S. are writing in French – both on the same topic. The youth partner up and help each other, each serving as mentor and mentee.
THE SPARK of Le Flambeau program continues to grow in its membership and in its impact. This semester we have a full class, bringing in a number of first-timers from Haiti and from the U.S. We are also pleased to have the French class from Shorewood High School from Wisconsin rejoin us this semester along with a new English Grader from Texas – the diverse group from outside of and within the U.S, offer a healthy exchange and stimulant for growth. The program will run for eight weeks, from October 7th to November 30th. An exciting session of English and French dialogue is on-going.
We can each make a difference. THE SPARK of Le Flambeau is another opportunity for students and teachers to reach out to each other and be that difference. Of the lives to be changed as a result of this experience, one may very well be your own. In whatever you do – Be THE SPARK of Le Flambeau!
Best regards,Le Flambeau Foundation Inc.
