Seen here receiving his Christmas
gift from the founder of United Caribbean Trust.
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 goes into action
in several ways.
Here's
what your sponsorship could provide for this 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 and in the Salvation
Army church hall in Jacmel. This will include
an afternoon feeding programme and a child educational, character
building evangelical teaching programme.
Opportunities to learn about important life skills
Most important of all, sponsoring a child will
allow your child to hear about Jesus and be encouraged to develop
a lifelong relationship with God.
