302 Haiti Project

Off the beaten path in Haiti, we discovered a wonderful group of people struggling to provide an education for 302 elementary age children in Maillard. The school was having to function with all 302 souls crowded in a huge tent! The tent was divided by makeshift walls and crude chalkboards. A lunch of flavored rice was prepared each day over a fire in a lean-to shelter. The staff was passionate and the leaders sacrificial. They were all doing their best in an impoverished environment with almost no outside support. We felt it was a worthy place to invest.

In fact, HopeGate, a non-profit foundation that expresses love to impoverished people in practical ways, was formed as a result of our Haiti encounter (read more at www.HopeGate127.org). Now, we are striving to make a difference for 302 wonderful children by raising their tuition for the 2016/2017 school year. Believe this--they can go to school for an entire year for $100. A child's lunch costs less than 10 cents a day! So we have committed to raise $30,200 to make this year a success!

This is an ongoing partnership and the HopeGate Foundation is leading the way to make a difference for 302 little lives. $100 can change a child's trajectory! We are confident that we will raise these funds as many loving people sense that they can help carry a small part of the load in a wonderful cause!
