Oldson Chery - Haiti
Oldson was born and raised in Citè Soleil, Haiti. As someone who grew up in poverty and violence, and as a father to eight himself, Oldson knew that young people needed opportunities to rise above the violence through education. Oldson is a black belt that uses his skill to teach young people martial arts as a means to prevent them from turning to violence in their community as they learn about honor, respect and discipline. His dream is to have Better Than Bullets programming throughout Haiti.

He has dreams for his life work to impact as many people as possible.
Together our impact
knows no limits.
Being unwanted,
unloved, uncared for,
forgotten by everybody, I
think that is a much
greater hunger, a much
greater poverty than the
person who has nothing
to eat. (Mother Teresa)
