I made this gofundme for Rony, who gives children a safe place to play, eat and make art in Haiti.
I will let Rony speak for himself:
Hello everyone! My name is Rony Elistene, I'm an artist and a teacher at my art school, Progressionsocietyartschool. In Haiti, we are currently experiencing a crisis due to the occupation of more than 80% of the capital by gangs. Political and economic insecurity means nothing is working; we depend solely on international aid to survive.
In September 2023, a friend helped me raise funds by creating a GoFundMe for my art school. With that money, I bought a lot of school supplies, such as suitcases, notebooks, pencils, pens, and many other things, and gave them to the children so they could go to school. It was truly wonderful.
But this year, the situation has become more difficult than ever, and it's the perfect time to start again, as the situation in Haiti is getting worse by the day. Insecurity and hunger affect the majority of the population, including the children at my art school.
During this difficult time, we need your support. I would like to help the children at my art school fight hunger. Next month, I would like to distribute food kits to each child, including rice, peas, oil, corn, and other items so they can feed themselves at home.
And school kits, including suitcases, notebooks, pencils, pens, and other items so they can go to school.
This project would not be possible without your support. Help us!
