University of Fondwa Retains TransMedia Group
to Publicize Its First Graduating Class
5/5/2008
The University of Fondwa in
Haiti has retained TransMedia Group to publicize the school's first
graduating class as a testament to the adage that a fish fills one belly
for a day, but education feeds many for life.
"One and a half hours out of Port au Prince, in the lofty mountains of
Fondwa, a new, more educated Haiti is being born," said Fr. Medard Laz,
President of University of Fondwa Foundation in the U.S., a not-for-profit
organization.
Ten students from the University of Fondwa will soon be graduating with
degrees in Business Management, Veterinary Medicine and Agronomy. As part
of the University's curriculum, students concentrated on the practical
application of their studies in French, English, Spanish, and Haitian
Creole as well as developing their leadership skills.
"In a nation of food riots and many people turning to mud cookies to
ease their burning hunger pangs, the University of Fondwa is truly a beacon
of hope," said Tom Madden, Founder and CEO of TransMedia Group.
The University of Fondwa was founded by Fr. Joseph Philippe, the
originator of Fonkoze, the foremost micro lending institution in Haiti.
Since its launch, Fonkoze has become the largest microfinance organization
in Haiti lifting over 100,000 people out of abject poverty. There are now
thirty-four branches throughout the country.
Founded in 2004, the University of Fondwa is Haiti's first rural
university offering students a rigorous education in Agronomy, Veterinary
Medicine and Business Management. The University of Fondwa is training a
new generation of young people who will participate in the sustainable and
integrated development of their country. For more information, visit
