Additional Information:
Desir is an only child who lives with his mother. He is very
active and curious like most children his age. He likes to
play with his mother. Unfortunately his mother is not working
at present.
A special thanks to the children
of Barbados that packed hundreds of shoe boxes for the
'Make Jesus Smile' shoe box project in 2007.
Your love gift of US $30 per month goes
into action in several ways.
Here's what your sponsorship provides
for a baby:
The wonderful feeling of being loved by a Christian
friend that he or she has not met, but who cares enough to be
a sponsor.
The opportunity to attend school. Only 15%
of the children in rural Haiti attend school, and fewer than
25% of adult Haitians are literate.
The first 1/3rd of the fees will go to the
pre primary school to cover school fees, uniform, shoes etc.
This will include a daily half hour Bouncing
Baby Early Childhood Education Programme, from
14:00 - 14:30 to be held at Les Tourterelles School.
The next 1/3rd will be invested into a Family
Empowerment Programme enabling the rural family
to purchase livestocks such as goats, chickens, pigs or a cow.
For the urban family the opportunity for sewing machines, trading
and other business opportunities will open for them to enable
them to be self sufficient. US $30 will be invested into a BioSand
Water Filter to provide clean water per household.
The last 1/3rd will go towards funding the
After School Club
which is being established at the local Restoration Ministries
Haiti church in Morne Oge. This will include an afternoon feeding
programme and a child educational, character building evangelical
teaching programme which the child can join as he grows up into
the system, flowing from the Bouncing Baby class into the other
After School classes once he joins the Pre Primary School at
age 3.
