Dear Ruth,
Joe and I would love to be there for this great occasion. I’ve
‘saved the date’ for a long-time, but unfortunately we will not be
able to come. We are planning on being in Haiti for about 6 weeks in Feb/March
with two medical teams.
Please know that our prayers are with you. I still remember the
JOY when the foundation stone was laid in June 1998. This is truly a ‘dream
come true’!
Love,
Linda & Joe Markee

The Faculté des Sciences Infirmières de l'Université
Episcopale d'Haïti (FSIL) is the first baccalaureate nursing program in Haiti.
It started on January 10, 2005, under Doyenne (Dean) Hilda Alcindor with
a Governing Board, made up of Haitian and American members and chaired by Dr.
Donna Martsolf who is a Professor of Nursing at Kent State University and
Vice-Chair Dr. Jessie Colin who is a Professor of Nursing at Barry University.
FSIL was built with grant funding from USAID/ASHA through the Medical Benevolence
Foundation (MBF) and major continuing funding from MBF and the Haiti Nursing
Foundation.
