New school desks for Haiti's Children !

THANK YOU !!!

In my last newsletter I shared the need for 60 new school desks/benches in Haiti. We are opening three new schools in the community centers we built as part of our Caring House/H2H villages project. We were able to raise the necessary funds in just a few short weeks!!!

Your generous giving has led to: Over 150 children in Haiti having the opportunity to attend school, many for the first time! Employment of a team of Haitians to build the desks. Support for the local economy as all materials where purchased from the local market.  Children in Haiti now have a brighter future due to their ability to get an education.  Loads of smiles and cheers from happy children. I want to say a special thank you to the Preston Scott Morning Show on100.7FM Tallahassee, Florida. He along with my dear friend Dr. Ed Moore, put out a challenge to Preston's listeners to donate for this cause. They raised enough funds for thirteen benches !!! I also wanted to share this story. It is amazing who we are able to reach when our friends that receive our newsletters and FaceBook posts SHARE and then repost or forward a friend. We often receive support from people we have never had any interactions with beforehand. One of H2H's number one fans is Doug Doebler, we have been friends for almost eight years. He is a member of the Caring House Foundation's Board of Directors, and is always quick to forward my emails to others within his network. When Doug saw our need for the school desks, he posted it on his FaceBook page. His friend Mark Evans saw the need and immediately pledge support for an entire school!!! From Doug, here is Evan's story..... H2H Donors and Palm Beach Residents Mark and Deena Evans were blessed with a healthy baby boy, Mark III, on August 19, 2015.  Just hours after watching his son enter the world, Mark saw a Facebook post that H2H desired to provide new school benches/desks for the Guernsey Family Village multi purpose building we recently built with The Caring House Project Foundation. The Facebook caught Mark's attention because the School/Church/Community Center is located near St. Marc in Haiti -- a country Mark had visited in 2007. During that trip, Mark was shocked at the conditions there, and although much progress has been made in Haiti, there is always more to do and Haiti has always remained close to Mark's heart. So Mark and Deena sent a note to H2H that they were so grateful to have their first child, a bouncing baby boy born in the good old USA, and they wanted to do something special to honor the birth of their son.  Providing the funds for new school benches sounded like a great idea. Less than 30 days later, the benches are built and in use in the new School/Church/Community Center building.  Thank you Mark, Deena & Mark III for your generosity.    Friends, I know we have many supporters are not be currently able to send a financial gift yet they are finding others ways to support our efforts. One easy way to help us is to forward our emails (like this one) to others in your network, family, friends, co-workers and churches. We are so blessed by you standing with us, your prayers, encouragement, and gifts on behalf of the children of Haiti motivate me to press on !
