Michele Bachmann Visits the Greta Home and Academy

Recently, Greta Van Sustren at FOX News Channel ran into Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Michele told Greta that she was going to Haiti to visit one of her children during the Thanksgiving holiday. Greta told Michele about The Greta Home and Academy and asked if she would like a tour. See Michele’s visit below.

“Would you like to see Greta Home and Academy?” Greta asked Michele. “It is the best place in Haiti!”

Before the Bachmanns left, the children sang “Joy to the World” to them.

Michele brought her family to the Greta Home to tour it with her. Her husband, son, and two daughters had a chance to play with the children.

The children at the home were thrilled to meet a U.S. Representative.

This year, 48 children from the community joined the children who live at the home for an education during the day. These children return to their homes after school but still get the opportunity to learn.

The curriculum taught at the Greta Home is called “Mwen Kapab!” (meaning “I can!”) and is centered on Christ. The goal is to produce graduates who are skilled and focused on Christ.

Reports indicate that only 50 percent of Haitian children have access to education. Only half the population is literate, and Haiti has the lowest primary school enrollment of any country in the Western Hemisphere. Greta Home is working to change those statistics.

This is Dave, one of the 80 children who attend the Greta Home. While Michele visited, he wore her sunglasses.
