The "Kisses
from Heaven" t-shirts... designed
and hand painted by the school children of Barbados giving
them an opportunity to sow a seed of love into the lives of
the children in Africa and to look beyond their own borders.
Poems, prayers, colouring books, greetings cards and other
exciting tokens of their love can be made for the children
in the program. |

United
Caribbean Trust seeks to introduce a Child Awareness
Day every month featuring children from around the
world. The Barbadian children will be given information on
the life of the children in the countries featured that month.
Seen here a Carib Indian

in Dominica learning about the children of Barbados taking
part in the Make Jesus Smile shoe box program. |

On Child
Awareness Day the students will be encouraged to bring a bottle
of cold water to school instead of purchasing a bottle of
soda. This will be a sign of solidarity with the children
around the world that often times do not even have water to
drink!
The US $1 saved will be collected
and donated to the UCT's Child Sponsorship Program established within
the country being featured that month.
UCT is committed to investing
US $30 to purchase a BioSand Water Filter from C.W.H
for every family within our Child
Sponsorship Program within Haiti .

Complying with two of the Millennium Development Goals
- Reduce by two thirds the
mortality rate among children under five
- Reduce by half the proportion of people without
sustainable access to safe drinking water
BioSand Water Filters are an adaptation
of slow-sand filtration, designed for use at the household level.
The filter removes water-borne bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and
other organisms that cause diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever,
and amoebic dysentery. The filter also strains out the particles
and organic matter that cause cloudiness, unpleasant taste, colour,
and odour.
UCT Founder, Jenny Tryhane travelled to Haiti in December 2007 and looked at the feasibility of establishing
this project into Jacmel and Bon Repos in Port au Prince.
Two persons from each area are being sponsored for a week of intensive training at CWH in March.
UCT is seeking sponsorship to purchase two moulds and the equipment needed to establish two production centres to manufacture our own moulds in Jacmel and Bon Repos.
COST:
Training per person US $200 for the week including transportation, food and accomodation.
