ABOUT FOUNDATION GUILLAUME
How did it all begin?
It started as a love story when Doctor Leopold Luc Guillaume came from the city of Les Cayes, Haiti and went on a medical mission trip to a village named Plaisance. This is when he met and fell in love with the beautiful lady Fernesia (Madam Luc). Soon after he ended up moving to Plaisance and marrying her. He was known for his compassion and dedication to those in need and he opened his home to patients and provided care without regard to their ability to pay. Madam Luc and Doctor Guillaume took care of many children and adults who did not have any food or place to sleep.
Madam Luc - Fernesia Guillaume
One of their five children, Jocelyn Guillaume, officially started the Foundation naming it after his father Leopold Luc Guillaume following his death in 2001. The Foundation has now grown 25 years later and includes a school, orphanage, hospital, church, elderly home, radio station and tennis program. Additionally FLLG does community development projects all over Plaisance building homes, supporting women entrepreneurs, disaster relied and much more. Dr. Luc's legacy continues on and his impact is still very evident throughout the community. To this day Madam Luc is still taking care of several children and feeds around 40 community members a day.
