Sen Rafayel (St. Raphael), Haiti, Village School Starthrower Foundation sponsors about two dozen students at École Vincent Ogé in Sen Rafayel (Creole spelling of St. Raphael). This village is located just 28 kilometers from Cap-Haitien, yet the journey takes about three hours to drive (if the vehicle doesn't break down or encounter road blocks, whether natural or man-made) on the narrow mountain road. Students often walk from Sen Rafayel to Lakay Fondasyon in Cap-Haitien, and back.
