Editor’s Note: The following Thank-You Letter comes from a bright scholar in Haiti who recently graduated at the top of his class on August 15, 2026. Inspired by the passion and commitment to education championed by Le Flambeau Foundation , a private donor generously stepped forward to fully fund three years of his college tuition in biomedical science, out of personal funds. This life-changing opportunity was made possible after the student was proposed by a THE SPARK of LF youth, who actively passed forward his Flambeau to light the way for the next generation.
Hello to the entire team at Le Flambeau Foundation ,
After four years of rigorous study at King Henry Christophe University (URHC), Udovick Desforges stands out as the valedictorian of his biomedical faculty. This exceptional journey is marked by perseverance, discipline, and a deep passion for biomedical sciences.
This exemplary academic achievement was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Le Flambeau Foundation , which accompanied Udovick for three years. The family expresses its deep gratitude to this institution for its commitment to education and the development of young talent.
The Desforges family, proud of his brilliant time at URHC, applauds not only Udovick’s academic performance, but also the commitment of the Le Flambeau Foundation to investing in the future of young talent. This success is the fruit of a collaboration between personal determination and institutional solidarity.
“This success is as much yours as it is mine. Together, we have proven that perseverance and support can turn dreams into reality.” Udovick Desforges – 8/15/26 (Graduate and Valedictorian of college of biomedical sciences, URHC – Cap-Haitien, Haiti)
