"Matt Littles is the manager of the program and is actively working with our recent 2010 graduates (Willie B., Emillian, Schneider and Israel) as well as up-and-coming graduates. All our graduates are very busy through the transition. Schneider is an employee of Maison de Lumiere, who, along with house mom Cindy Ahrensen, helps care for the youngest residents of our boys home. He also goes to school full-time. Israel, who has his own apartment, is taking care of his mother and is also a full-time student , is working on developing an electronics business. Willie B. and Emillian are learning furniture making and reside at the Center. Their business is already making a profit and has a backlog of product orders. Matt has regular meetings with all the kids which also includes business classes, life-skills classes, goal-making, hands-on vocational skills training and development, bible studies and devotionals.
'Helping Haitian youth to become positive members of society (both spiritually and professionally) is one of the things I'm most excited about," said Matt. "Christ calls us to not only meet the spiritual needs of the needy, but to help meet their physical needs as well. Having the opportunity to work, provide for their families, and have a venue in which to live out their ministry is one of the greatest needs I see for Christian young people in Haiti. I'm excited to see that, as we begin to exam opportunities for the future, they learn to trust more in God's provision for their future.'"
