Haitain Educational Aid and Resources (HEAR)

After a very harsh winter here in Portland, Spring Break is quickly approaching.

Marie-Michele, our Haitain student at Concordia University, has had a little challenge adjusting to the weather. But we are sure she will enjoy the spring once it is in full bloom.

Concordia's student body did a wonderful job this fall in welcoming Marie and also in their relief effort campaign for Haiti in the aftermath of hurricane Matthew. 

During our March mission trip to Haiti we will be distributing many of those donations to families in the hardest hit areas of Haiti. 

Marie is doing very well in her M.Ed. classes and has also taken on teaches Spanish to adults in a locale school. We couldn't keep her out of the classroom. She is so driven to give back to the community.

This is one of the reasons your donations are so important to us. They allow students like Marie to focus of their own schooling and also using their gifts and talents to serve others without the worry of have to work too many hours to pay the rent, buy food and supplies.

Please consider adding H.E.A.R. to your charitable donations in 2017, so that others might follow in Marie's footsteps.

H.E.A.R. has two full tuirion scholarships at Concordia, but the fill gap funding for only one student to attend. The gap is typically $5,000-$7,000 per year and is vital for young Haitians trying to accept the scholarship and get their student visas to accept this educational opportunity.

Thank you for you consideration.
