At Lee University, her studies earned her a Bachelors degree in Human Development and Educational Psychology, which led to a career as a high school teacher in Virginia.

ESTIME ODILON

Odilon is the village leader in Charye where the Garden of Eden School is located. He is also the leader of OCDM (Organisation De Devloppement Contre La Misere) a Haitian organization that works with educational development, agriculture and reforestation. Odilon's vision to create a school in the village was the catalyst for over 300 kids to have the opportunity to go to school. Before the schools creation, many kids would have to walk hours to school. The kids who were in the village often could not afford the tuition for school. The Garden of Eden school is tuition free. The parents often partner with the school to help cook food for the students and pay for uniform costs. This helps so many kids that would have never been able to attend school, get an education.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN SCHOOL

The Garden of Eden School started 6 years ago as a part of Dr. Kelly's Give a Kid a Kid Goat Project. The kids would go through the literacy program and then receive a baby goat to raise. The school now has grown from 15 kids to over 350 students. The school has preschool through 6th grade. This school has been completely funded by Made to Love through sales and donations.
