| About N.E.S.T the Novion Education Sponsorship Team N.E.S.T. is a program put together through the cooperation of Marion Catholic Community Parishes in Mercer County Ohio and their sister parish in Novion, Haiti. Haiti has the highest rate of illiteracy in the Western hemisphere, is also one of the poorest countries of the planet. Many children do not go to school that increases the juvenile delinquency. The catholic church assumes responsibility for many of the services normally provided by government, relying considerably upon donations and individual sponsorship to accomplish this effort. N.E.S.T. is a sponsorship program to financially enable poor children in Haiti to have access to school. Funding is provided by a person who pledges and pays an annual amount from $ 250.00 for 6 years. This allows the child to complete primary school. Most of them have their two parents, but they are very poor . They have to struggle day after day to find their daily bread. This helps to explain their lack of means to pay the education scholarship of their children. Even though most are not orphans, the critical condition in which they live does not allow them to continue to go to school. This approach will allow them to have access early to school and to stay at least until the last primary degree |
