Thanks to the children of Barbados that made
this dream a reality.

The party was a partnership
between United Caribbean Trust and Restoration Ministries
Haiti. It was the conclusion of months of hard work as hundreds
of children in schools around Barbados packed shoe boxes for
the Make Jesus Smile project.
Your love gift of US $30 per month goes into
action in several ways.
Here's what your sponsorship provides
for the child:
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.
A uniform, books and supplies for school. Things
that many children can only dream about.
The first 1/3rd of the fees will go to the school
to cover school fees, uniform, shoes, books and pencils etc.
The next 1/3rd will be invested into a Family
Empowerment Programme enabling the family to purchase
livestocks such as goats, chickens, pigs or a cow. This will not
only assist with feeding the family but educate the children in
self sufficiency. 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 in Jacmel.
The child sponsorship programme
has enabled Restoration Ministries Haiti to start the Afternoon
Feeding Programme and we are expecting to be
ready very soon to start the child music educational, character
building evangelical teaching programme.
