New Math Teacher

The death of BTI Math teacher Vernio Joseph in December made it necessary to find a new Math teacher. We have done so. His name is Rubens Jean and he is also a former BTI student. This photo was taken in 2001 when Rubens (circled in red) was still a student here. That 2001-2002 school year he participated in the non-formal program we had then, The Young Teachers for God. That year he and the other students learned teaching techniques and how to integrate the gospel into their work.
For those of you who have been to HAFF, Rubens' mother is Mme Raisius who takes care of the dorm. In May of 2002, Rubens graduated from the Young Teachers for God program. We are pleased to have him as part of our teaching staff. And we know that what he learned in the Young Teachers class will help him each day at BTI. Please pray for this young man as he starts his teaching job in sad circumstances. Posted by Picasa
