Back to School Needs
Due to the political unrest in Haiti, cost of living has skyrocketed. Items like food and gas have been difficult to purchase, making it difficult for Gertrude to buy the necessary items the children need for school. To help cover the cost for the children to attend school, Notre Maison/St. Joe is holding a back-to-school fundraiser.
You can participate by making a one-time donation of $55 dollars for books or $30 for uniforms and shoes. Donations can be made through the UMC Kearney website by following the directions below.

About School Scholarships
We are very proud to say that many of the children at Notre Maison have the opportunity to attend school. Some attend high school, some attend the neighborhood school, some attend after school trade programs, and other attend the Haiti Center for Inclusive Education.
Many things about attending school are different in Haiti from the United States. All students are required to purchase or make a school uniform which includes pants/skirts, shirts, socks, and shoes. They buy the typical school supplies such as pens, paper, notebooks, folders, etc. They also need to purchase their own text books, which can be expensive. Other expenses include registration fees at the start of the year, quarterly payments, non-uniform days, assessment fees, etc. We are very blessed to have all of our children's school tuition covered by a select few of our sponsors. |
