My country is one of the least developed countries in the Western Hemisphere, where basic need: education, public health, access to proper hygiene, and food are all the major problems facing the Haitian population. In Haiti there is a lack of knowledge of vector borne diseases, their transmission, and how to prevent them.

In September 2004 I started a MSc course in Biology and Control of Parasite and Disease Vectors at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, with the full support of the Lymphatic Filariasis Support Centre and WHO/TDR. The support from the Centre enabled me to further my studies. I attend the MSc course for approximately 11 months and the course comprised of orientation, taught modules (12) (60 credits) and a research project leading to the submission of a dissertation (60 credits).

I have just completed my MSc qualification successfully and I really appreciated the help and support of my sponsors, who place their hope on me for a better Haiti with less public health problems. I truly see myself as potential resource especially for the Haitian LF programme.

Big Thanks again to all my Sponsors,
