TESOL HAITI: SEEKING MENTORS AND INTERESTED PARTNERS
Mackenzy Julemisse, TESOL Haiti, Haiti

Since TESOL Haiti was created, it’s educators have been forced to fight to teach themselves how to bridge their organization’s differences to align to the objectives of TESOL International and the other TESOL global associations in their work to make English the tool of this century in Haiti.

TESOL Haiti, wants TESOL International’s leaders to help them understand what needs to be learned and how to utilize what their educators have to respond to Haiti’s teacher and student’s needs adequately. Haiti implores TESOL leadership to assist the efforts in Haiti through to enable its learners and Teachers of English to speakers of other languages to use English as a means of communication and as a tool to explain the innovation in the third millennium.

Last year, TESOL Haiti hosted an event aimed to teach nurses and nursing students English. The effort was a success. Two hundred participants earned two things through the event – increased English skills and a certificate for participation. The best thing we can give to learners in Haiti is a certificate because they think that education is the only aim in life. Their daily trauma is the apartheid of education that is about to crumble their living every day. Imagine how we are colonized by the little group of oppressors erecting condescendingly less education as a prison to capture these people and their dreams.

Instruction is compulsory, but education is obligatory. Thus, the kind of education you're sharing through TESOL International is helpful; it has taught to me on how to be a leader for myself, a leader for my family and a leader for my community. Imagine that TESOL Haiti could become the type of Institution that TESOL International is teaching his members to become , the community of English in Haiti would be able to understand why they have to free themselves for a kind of leadership that can lead teachers and learners to accept to learn from each other.

To be frank, I would say that TESOL Haiti is imploring the leaders of TESOL International to help us to become an Institution which can be helpful to our community.
