Thanks so much for helping to provide a year* of school for Chanini.
Nine year old Chanini was brought to the HTDC orphanage by her grandmother after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Her grandmother was caring for nine other children, and after the earthquake she couldn’t afford to care for them all.
Chanini’s grandmother hoped the orphanage could care for her. But with so many basic needs, like food, to worry about, the orphanage couldn’t afford to send Chanini to school.
Without an education, Chanini’s future looked bleak. Without basic literacy and numeracy, she would have been doomed to a life of poverty.
But Chanini is lucky - she has you in her life.
Your fantastic generosity means that we’ll be able to keep Chanini in school and learning the skills she needs to build a brighter tomorrow. Chanini’s been doing really well in school, but if she needs extra help we’ll be there to get her the tutoring she needs.
We’ll be able to support Chanini because you chose to give. There are so many things you could have spent your hard earned money on, but you chose Chanini. Thanks so much.
We’ll keep updating you about Chanini and all her classmates through this project’s parent page, Provide a Safe Home for Haitian Orphans. If you ever have any questions about how we're using your donation, please email Andy@IDVolunteers.org. We’d love to hear from you!
Thanks again, and very kind regards!
*Note that the orphanage is home to around thirty children. Donations to this project will cover Chanini’s school costs over a year, but will be spent on all the children in parallel as we fundraise for each in turn.
