Haiti Gospel Mission is raising the bar for Education. This year, as we have done every year, we are adding somthing new, presenting new ideas, and working on getting these kids somthing they cant find other places. The education system here is very difficult, and for these kids to advance on to a secondary school and then possibly to a college, it is a very big challenge. And this challenge is not only one of competence, it is also one of finance. Many people here make just enough to get by and feed their families. Add the burden of paying for education on top of that, and thats why so many of these kids will grow up, starting work at age 12 and 13 to help with their family. We are trying to set these kids up for success.
This year is the first year that we have a complete Primary(Elementary) school. We have 2 preschools, K-5 and grades 1-6. We are keeping a lot of the students here this year that would have otherwise had to look for another school, or possibly not continue at all.
We need your help. We have compitant teachers that we are trying to pay every month. Right now, HGM is trying to complete and start up projects to further not only the school, but the Clinic and Church as well. Because of so many giving to this work in the 5 and a half years that we have been here, we have more than doubled the teachers pay, and have assited over 20 kids in attending school.
There is still so much more to be done.
This year, we have already had field trip and a visit from a doctor to teach our preschoolers they dont need to be affraid of the clinic when they are sick. We thank God for each of you that give toward this ministry, and we only ask that if you feel you would like to get involved, please contact us and we will be sure to answer and questions you may have. We also appreciate all the prayers that have gone up for us. God Is Working!!!
