Let's change Haiti
When we think about the situation of Haiti. We must say things are very bad down here.
I have been thinking a lot about the vulnerability of things in this country. Misery hits the people each day.
The school project has been going on, it's in construction. Many people in the neighborhood really appreciate it. Now more than 100 hundred kids back to school and they receive one meal a day.
Education is the heart of the development of any society. We can’t develop without education thus we won't have any good corporation among the people when it is absent.
I talked with the kids, they said they were loosing hope because they did not think that they would back to school.
It is dedicated to helping the children for a better society because it can't be created without knowing how to read and write.
The school works in two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The kids are taught different subjects based on the primary education of the government of education program. We have nine teachers and they work on a monthly contract. It goes from kindergarten to 6th fundamental grade, however, it is a primary school. A lot of kids are already registered for the next academic year. My dream is to see those kids receiving a free education because their parents cannot afford to pay.
It is impossible to ask the families to pay school for their children but in the meanwhile they are sleeping under tarps and having no job. Those children should not be sent to the street to beg people, they are the future of Haiti and the world.
I remember during some years past, my mother could not afford to pay school for me. I used to stay home educating myself, but when I back here from the U.S for my heart surgery, God talked to my host family so that they paid the rest of the years of my secondary education.
I am wondering about how would I be if I did not have anybody to help me with my education by sending me to school? How would I be if I did not attend school? Maybe I would not stand for my people today; maybe I would be something else and someone else.
Education makes me another person. If I did not attend school I would not be able to start this project to relief the situation of the people, especially the children of my neighborhood.
I am here to tell you that your help is needed. Please do not hesitate to contact me to do it. Money is greatly needed to pay the teachers and also materials. Nothing won’t work without your donations.PLEASE DONATE!
