The story of Miquette’s childhood is like that of most children in Haiti except that something rather unusual happened, something that made the rest of Miquette’s story very different. In the fall of 2000, Miquette received a rare opportunity. As a part of Rotary International’s Youth Exchange program, Miquette was offered a chance to spend a year attending Detroit Lakes High School in Minnesota. Having previously learned only limited English, the adjustment was a real challenge for Miquette. But she never quit, and after leaving the U.S. at the end of the year, she was determined to return and complete her high school education. Miquette’s perseverance paid off. In May of 2002, she received her high school diploma from Oak Grove Lutheran High School in North Dakota. Four years later, she received a BA in nursing from Concordia College in Minnesota. She became the first person in her family to graduate high school or college. Miquette is the founder of TeacHaiti and the Director at Haiti School of Hope. TeacHaiti responds to the Gospel of Jesus Christ by empowering Haitian Children to emerge from poverty through education. TeacHaiti is a Christian, non-profit organization serving the children and families of Haiti.
