Grand Boulage

The ti malice Center is also involved in its community's well being. During a seminar held at Grand Boulage ( a small village at 25 minutes from the city of Mirebalais ) our ti malice teachers decided to help the only school of the region by sponsoring 100 children of pre school age. In September, school bags, books, pencils and school supplies were distributed to those children. The same day, the ti malice team congratulated and gave three trophies to the winners of the First ti Malice soccer tournament. Located in the Departement du Centre, the people of Grand Boulage have no running water, no electricity and no medical services. The only school available is the presbytarian school directed by a priest , Pere Tristan. The population survives thanks to manioc, pois congo and corn crops. Every little bit of help they can find is important to them !
