During the last two summer vacations, some Petion-Ville friends lent Timkatec a beach house outside Grand-Goave for one month. A bus was rented, and the ride from Port-Au-Prince is a luxury for these children. It was necessary for Timkatec to have its own means of transportation. Father Simon was able, on a trip to New York, to raise enough money through contributions from friends and parents and Les Salesians of New-Rochelle, to purchase a bus with 65 seats.
"It is fundamental to show children that one loves them and really wants to help them. The rest goes automatically. It is also a work of justice towards these children whose physical, intellectual and moral development is jeopardized by a life without affection, without guidance, without constraint, without obligation. The street cannot educate in any way." Father Joseph Simon of Timkatec.
