I am Senat Wilguens, deeply rooted in the heart of Cité Soleil, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where I witness firsthand the struggles and challenges that cloud the lives of our youth. As the dedicated coordinator of the Sharing Blessings to Others (SBO) program and the passionate founder of the STEM Corner initiative, I am driven by an unshakable conviction: education is the key to a better future for these children whose potential is too often stifled by a lack of opportunities. In this community, where hardship is a constant companion, limited access to quality education remains a significant barrier, severely restricting their prospects and perpetuating a cycle of vulnerability.
Faced with this harsh reality, STEM Corner was born out of a deep desire to provide a tangible alternative, a beacon of hope in an often dark landscape. My mission is clear and determined: to give the youth of Cité Soleil a real opportunity to break free from the grip of poverty by opening doors to the fascinating world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). With expertise acquired over the years in diverse fields such as computer science, mechanics, plumbing, and heavy machinery operation, I feel entrusted with a vital mission to share this valuable knowledge with the children of my community. I am fully committed to equipping them with the intellectual and practical tools they need, not just to survive, but to thrive and build a dignified, prosperous future.
At Sharing Blessings to Others (SBO), we firmly believe that education is the most powerful lever for social change. By providing these eager young minds with the essential practical and theoretical skills of the 21st century, we are not simply teaching them; we are empowering them to become active participants in their own development and agents of progress within their community. We strongly believe that by fostering their interest in STEM fields, we are paving the way for enriching and sustainable career opportunities, enabling them to break free from poverty and contribute positively to Haitian society.
Today, I make an urgent call for solidarity and action. We warmly invite you to join us in this critical mission. Together, with your support and generosity, we can truly transform lives, restore hope where it is fading, and build a brighter future where every child in Cité Soleil; regardless of their background or circumstances, has the chance to reach their full potential and flourish. Whatever your contribution, you are an essential pillar in constructing the future we dream of for these young generations.
🔹 Together, let’s turn this hope into a tangible reality. 🔹
