In 1984 Fernande returned to Haiti to plant the first brick on a large scale philanthropic facility that she planned to build. She has the architectural scale design of the facility on display at the 1120 Flatbush Avenue. This facility will include a hospital, daycare center, elementary school, a church and an artisan school. She planted this first brick despite the fact that she had no where near the financial resources to build such a facility. It is her dream. And where there is a will there is a way. Currently she has built the nursery and has served more than 200 children. Her devotion to this project has not faltered and continues on stronger then ever.Fernande’s philanthropy has helped many people over many decades. She has been recognized for her contributions with various awards and certificates. Local leaders and politicians throughout the state have commended her for her accomplishments.
