Vassar Haiti Project
Apr. 07, 2022
The Vassar Haiti Project (VHP), founded in 2001, is a nonprofit organization that promotes Haitian art, fosters sustainable development in Haiti, and mentors student and community volunteers in the principles and practice of global citizenship. Through art auctions and sales, VHP supports the welfare of Haitian artists and artisans. These art sales provide the primary means of funding for initiatives in education, health care, water access and purification, and reforestation in Chermaitre, Haiti, a mountain village in the Nord, Haiti. VHP has a strong educational component, dedicated both to raising awareness of Haitian culture and society in the United States and elsewhere, and to providing a practical education in global citizenship to students, alumnae/i, and friends of Vassar College. The Vassar Haiti Project is incorporated in New York as Haiti Project, Inc., and is a registered U.S. 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The Vassar Haiti Project was founded in 2001 by Vassar College Director of International Services Dr. Andrew Meade and his wife Lila Metres Meade, and is led largely by Vassar student volunteers. It began as a small project that supported education and lunch programs at a school in Chermaitre, Haiti, before growing in membership and scope to include medical, water, reforestation, and women's initiatives. VHP's first capital initiative was to fund the construction of a seven-room primary school, which was completed in 2008. In early 2011, VHP installed a gravity-driven system of cisterns and PVC piping leading to a faucet by the school. In late 2011, the VHP began construction on a clinic in Fiervil, Haiti, which will provide health care and education to thousands of residents of Chermaitre and several other remote villages.[2] |

Jay Jonas has been a long-time resident of Goshen. He married Judy Cassel in 1983. They have three adult children and one grandchild. Jay has volunteered in Goshen as a Little League coach, a Goshen Youth Football coach, and as a member of the Minisink Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 of the Goshen Fire Department. Jay was hired by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) in 1979. During his career, he has worked in the South Bronx, Harlem, the Lower East Side, Chinatown, Greenwich Village, Little Italy, and SOHO. He is currently the Division Commander of the 7th Division in the Bronx.
He has written the FDNY procedures for rescuing trapped firefighters. He has also written numerous articles in WNYF Magazine. He has authored over 70 issues of his "Division 7 Training and Safety Newsletters" which highlight historical and/or significant fires and lessons learned from them.
On September 11, 2001, Jay was the Captain of Ladder Co. 6. They were one of the first arriving units to the World Trade Center. They operated in the North Tower, and were in the middle of rescuing a woman when the North Tower collapsed with Ladder Co. 6 still inside. They were trapped for hours in the rubble. But, miraculously, the members of Ladder Co. 6 and the woman they were rescuing all survived. They have been the subject of numerous documentaries about 9/11.
When Jay retires later this year, his career will be almost 43 years in duration.
