Sharyn Babe is a mission co-worker appointed to serve in Haiti since 1987, first with Project HELP and since 1991 with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). By invitation of the Episcopal Church of Haiti, Sharyn serves at the Episcopal University (UNEPH) as professor of educational technology.

Sharyn served for many years as a mission co-worker with her husband Rodney, but Rodney resigned in March of 2008 to work with PREPEP, which is funded by USAID.

For more than a decade the Babes worked with CODEP (Agricultural Development Program of the Comprehensive Development Project), which was formerly known as Cormiers Development Project. The Cormiers project is sponsored under a covenant between the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the Episcopal Church of Haiti.

Initiated in 1989, the ambitious project was designed to improve the lives of the residents of Cormiers through long-term education, health, and agricultural development programs. Residents are directly involved in all aspects of organization and management, and receive training and support in planning and executing the various programs.

The twelve-square mile project area encompasses the severely deforested and eroding watershed and upper valley of the Cormiers River. The chief occupation of the 4,500 residents is subsistence and cash-crop farming.

At CODEP, Sharyn was an educational advisor assisting in teacher training and formation of rural teachers and students at CODEP-affiliated schools. Prior to that, she was a guidance counselor at Quisqueya Christian School.

A native of Pennsylvania, Sharyn earned her B.A. in fine arts and an M.Ed. in counseling from Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pennsylvania. From 1983 to 1986 she was the coordinator of the Job Training Partnership Act programs for youth and adult literacy in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Prior to leaving for Haiti in 1987, she worked for the Juniata Valley school district as an elementary guidance counselor.
