Each year about 70-80 children join the school and need to be sponsored so they can continue to attend! The cost is $25 per month (or $300 a year) and 100% goes to the child's tuition, books, uniform, meal and medical services. If you would like to sponsor a child at the school or are just interested in learning more, click HERE! Our friend's sister and her husband started Welcome Home Haiti 3 years ago and their mom passionately runs the child sponsorship program for HCM.
So, that's a brief background of the ministries we worked with and how we are personally connected to them! It was really cool to see the work being done in Pillatre and how God is blessing the ministries there. I loved meeting the people and getting to know them. The trip was such a reminder of how much we have here in the USA and how much help is needed elsewhere in the world...especially in Haiti! I was also inspired by the faith of the people there. They really know what it is like to depend on God for every basic need and the way they so freely glorify God and express thankfulness for the small things as well as the big things is so moving. Did I praise God like this family when we moved into our new home? Nope....I've got a lot of growing to do.
Here are a few pictures! As I get more pictures from our team members, I will keep posting! Thank you so much to everyone who prayed for us and supported the trip financially! The entire home and everything inside of it was made possible through monetary donations and your prayers.
