The school in Ranquitte is the Spady-Calhoun school named partly in honor of one of its benefactors, Dr. Steven Spady of Hindman, KY. There is also a Health Clinic on campus there. Both the school and clinic are overseen by a Haitian staff and maintained by Christian Flights International,^[2] a non-profit missionary organization that has been sending trips into this area for over 40 years.
