This was the United Caribbean Trust stand at the Garrison African Heritage event help earlier this year. It was an excellent opportunity to meet with numerous teachers and introduce them and the students to the project.

Thanks to all the children that took part in the Easter Shoe Box project.

United Caribbean Trust has established a Caribbean equivalent to Samaritan's Purse Shoe Box Ministry.

We launched the project last Christmas under the title of 'Make Jesus Smile' and we have now extended this project into the Easter Season.

United Caribbean Trust has a deep desire to be an expression of the love of Christ on earth, bringing hope to children in Haiti responding to meet the holistic needs of the child – physically, emotionally and spiritually.

We want 'Make Jesus Smile' to be much more than a shoe box ministry, receiving this gift means so much to the Haitian child.

Just knowing that someone, from within the Caribbean, whom they will probable never meet, cared. Your efforts will bring joy, hope and a little of God’s love into a desperately poor situation.

Every box as it is distributed ensures that the child is established on the UCT child sponsorship programme.
