#GIVEAGIFT2HAITI - Brendan & Ryan Ludwig

Our names are Brendan and Ryan Ludwig.  We have grown up going to a Christian School for the first 14 years of our life.  The school we attended Advent Lutheran School in Boca Raton has an international outreach program called Village of Hope & Medical Center in Haiti.  They have a trip every year in May and send volunteers to the Village of Hope in Haiti.  Unfortunately, we were never able to go because it was always during year end finals.  After hearing some of the amazing stories from friends that went on this trip, we decided we wanted to look for a charity that we could help.  After doing a thorough search to find a charity that fit our beliefs, we found the BATI School located in St. Michel, Haiti.  Their 501(c)(3) non-profit provides free, localized education for students k-12, through a sustainable farm-funded financial design.  The school opened in 2017 with 62 students ages 3-7.  It has grown to 105 students with ages ranging from 3-9.  In addition to core classes, students are learning fitness and agriculture.  One of the main reasons we chose this charity is because the founder and many of the board members reside in our local community of South Florida so we are able to work with them to coordinate our efforts.  We asked them what they could use from us to help give their students a better life.  They asked for Christmas gifts for the students.  Our goal is to provide a gift for each student.  These gifts will be sent to Haiti in November and given out in December by the founder and board members. While we would like to go it’s during our midterms so we are planning to visit at a later date. Any donation will help us reach our goal and put a smile on a child’s face.  Thanks in advance for anything you can contribute.

If you should need a copy of the letter showing the 501 (c)(3) eligibility we can provide that.

Sincerely,

Brendan & Ryan Ludwig
