Œuvrer pour aider les Anciens Élèves de Don Bosco à devenir ” Sel de la terre et lumière du monde “
Chaque personne qui a reçu une préparation à la vie basée sur les principes du Système Préventif de Don Bosco dans un Oratoire Salésien, une École ou une autre Présence Salésienne.
A commencé le MOIS 2017 lorsqu’un ancien élève (Bertini Lacrete) célébrait la première sainte communion de son fils. Un groupe d’anciens élèves de Dominic Savio Pétion-Ville était présent à cette rencontre en Floride.
De là est née l’idée d’organiser une Réunion des Anciens Élèves des Salésiens et des amis de Don Bosco.
Paul Wilner, Alberte Lacrete, Yanick Louis, Marie Antoine Dentel furent les pionniers de cette idée.
Pour réaliser cet événement, ils ont élu à l’unanimité Jude Elie comme personne désignée pour diriger le processus. Le 17 mai 2017, ils ont contacté les anciens élèves dont Jude Elie et celui-ci a accepté d’organiser la première rencontre des anciens élèves de Don Bosco de PV.
Dès cette première rencontre réussie, les professeurs, les étudiants et les prêtres ont demandé de ne pas arrêter ce mouvement et de continuer à travailler ensemble en tant qu’Association pour pouvoir suivre le chemin de Don Bosco.

Jude is the product of the exceptional education that the School of Dominique Savio, Petion-Ville in Haiti offers. At a young age, he quickly learned the Salesians’ motto to “be Good Christian and Honest Citizens”, to always give, and to share while caring for others. Jude never forgot his past as a student of this reputable institution. Thus, his desire to continue the legacy of the Salesians in Haiti has never faded.
Being called upon to unite a group of past pupils to form a non-profit association to help the youths in Haiti was an honor to him. It was with pride that he connected with many friends to achieve this endeavor. He worked relentlessly to organize a team of devoted past pupils to participate in this philanthropic effort. As the current president of ACCODOSAH, Jude proudly leads the members of the association to create opportunities for children of lesser means to have access to basic Salesian education. The main goal of the association is to make an IMPACT that will alter not only the youths in Haiti but also their community.
