Brothers and Sisters,

Our staff and students with the exception of two losses are alive by a miracle.   Jean Francois Alzzinor, age 21, principal Alti of Les Petits Chanteurs died at the University he attended.  ‘Alzzinor’ participated in the tours of 2006, 2007 and 2008. Mdm Lahens, recently hired to be in charge of discipline, also died.
 
Nicole St Victor was dizzy and in shock but she was not injured. Manmi Rose also was not injured.

But many students and staff from the Trade School died when the destruction came.

We lost all of our instruments. 

Salle St. Cecile, the only Concert Hall in the country, was also destroyed.

If we are alive, we believe God has a special mission for us.  We do not know why and how we are alive because we do not know how we were able to get out of the building when we were on the third floor when the entire building collapsed?

Now the time is to rebuild the Music School and Concert Hall and get music back to life in order to show the future of Haiti.

Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts of us.

May God bless us all.
