Clovesky P.

Louverture Cleary School’s philosophy “What we receive for free, we must give for free” (Matthew 10:8) is lived out every day by LCS students and alumni. Clovesky P. (LCS ’17) is no exception. 

Looking back on his time at LCS, Clovesky most fondly remembers the services students provided to the community. Besides LCS’s ordinary activities, he was involved in the school’s debate club. Today, Clovesky keeps returning to LCS with the spirit of sharing what he has received, despite his busy schedule in university, to communicate his experience with the new students.

After graduation, Clovesky struggled to find his path. First, he went to law school, but did not pursue that direction because he believed deeply that he could make more of an impact if he followed his heart to the political sphere. “I thought of the best way for me to serve, and found it is by getting into politics where decisions for the people are made,” he shared.  

Clovesky transferred to a political science and international relations     program at Université Quisqueya, where he studies today on a scholarship from The Haitian Project. Meanwhile, he has hosted several debates in his community on matters concerning society and human rights.

Clovesky’s goal for Haiti is to unite every citizen to work together toward improving all aspects of the country. To do so, he plans to learn and acquire more skills in order to transform himself into “being a great leader.” He summarizes the difference he hopes to make in this way: “Human dignity is the reason I work. I want Haiti to be a place where everyone can live without being troubled by if they are going to have food for dinner or when their children will go to school.”

Clovesky recognizes that LCS represents the place that made him who he is today, a man with a vision, which he draws from one of the school’s murals: “We are ready to rebuild Haiti, and you?”
