Kids in Haiti head BACK TO SCHOOL this week! It is an exciting time because Haitians LOVE TO LEARN and many are guaranteed a HOT MEAL at school. This is true for the children in the community of Pele at The Good Shepherd School. Parents, too, are grateful that their children have a place to learn and grow in mind, body and soul!
Our Operations Budget supports:
- 35 staff and teacher salaries
- materials and classroom supplies
- 600 daily meals
- water, sanitation, electricity
- maintenance and security
This month we are having a BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE to help fund students who cannot afford a backpack or uniform and help us with meals and classroom supplies.
We are partnering with a local Haitian backpack supplier to provide backpacks for those in need. We are happy to support the local Haitian economy while helping those children who cannot afford a backpack. Better yet, backpacks only cost $10. Uniforms, school supplies and help with meals are also much needed and appreciated. Thank you for partnering with us to educate children and build future leaders in Haiti!
THESE SECOND GRADERS ARE READY FOR THE NEW YEAR!
