Current Needs
Summer School
We are excited to announce that for the first time we will be offering a summer school and art program for our students in Haiti. We have hired three teachers to teach art, embroidery and macrame. Students will be taught dance routines, how to embroider clothing and how to make shoes and bags. Along with academic instruction and art electives, the students will receive one hot meal each day.
The program will run for five weeks from July 23rd – August 24th.
We reached our goal and Summer School is a go! Due to your generous doantions, we have reached our goal of $5,000.00 for our Summer School and Art Program in Haiti.
Painting Fund
In an effort to complete our school campus, we are working to raise $3000 for the exterior painting of our buildings. If you are willing to donate towards this need, we would be most appreciative!
Meal Program
Each school day the students at Ecole Destined For Grace receive a hot meal for lunch. Our meal program provides a wide variety of food options for the students including eggs, vegetables, fruits, salmon sauce, potatoes, rice and beans. This program is essential for our students ability to learn in the classroom. For many students it is one of the only meals they can depend on. Our students are more likely to attend class and stay attentive when they have been provided a well-balanced meal. Our teachers have seen what a difference this program has made in the students ability to learn and be engaged in the classroom.
Each month we spend $1,000 on food for our students. If you want to donate to this program please note meal program in your memo line.
Classroom Fund
Now that our new building is complete, we need to furnish the school with desks, chairs, tables and chalkboards for our students to learn! The following is a breakdown of what the items needed cost:
Desks $35
Chalkboard $40
Tables: $40
Cabinet $60
