Conor Shapiro, of Concord, MA, was named Director General of all of our operations in Haiti in December.  His connection with SBHF began 8 years ago when he traveled to Fond des Blancs with his parish, Our Lady Help of Christians, in Concord, and its pastor, Rev. Austin Fleming, on an Immersion Trip.  Conor was a sophomore at Middlebury College at the time.  It was a life changing experience.

Once back in the U.S., Conor asked to return to Fond des Blancs as a volunteer for a year when he graduated from college.  He prepared by taking a course in Haitian Creole and a teaching course of English as a Second Language.  Teaching did not come easily to him.  Eventually, he found his niche helping the director to run the hospital programs and projects.  He worked an additional 2 years in this capacity. Finally, his eyes on higher goals, he returned to the U.S. and received his Master's Degree in Public Health at Boston University, where he put his real life experience from Haiti to good use in his courses.  On completion of his degree requirements in 2007, he returned a an sweetheart, Lise.  His life is on the Fast Track and we wish him well.nd was hired as Program Manager for St. Boniface in Haiti, a position he held until his most recent promotion to Director General.

Last month, at the age of 28, Conor made it to the top of the management ladder when he was appointed Director General of all of St. Boniface Haiti Foundation's operations in Haiti.  Last Summer, he married his Haitian sweetheart, Lise.  His life is on the Fast Track and we wish him well.
