Having just celebrating Thanksgiving Day, experiencing Black Friday and looking forward to Giving Tuesday we would like to also honor our parents and founders, who were married on November 26th, 1977.
This week they celebrate their 40th anniversary. They don't want any gifts. They don't want to take a big trip. They want to mark the occasion by raising money for a good cause.
Whether finding scholarships for HEAR, fundraising for schools, or hosting countless visitors in their home, Mom and Dad have been helping people in Haiti for years.
Their current project is HEAR, a small charity with a simple mission, to give the brightest and poorest students of Haiti the opportunity to study in the US. Education is the main way a person can change the trajectory in their lives.
HEAR is happy to announce that its current MAT candidate will graduate in December. She has done well in her studies and is actually graduating 5 months early. She will be looking for an internship for the next year and then plans to return to Haiti a start a school in a small community on the out skirts of Croix des Bouquets.
In January our next student will begin her MBA studies. So the tradition continues.
HEAR has another scholarship available and will be looking to fill it in January. HEAR needs your help. If you haven't in the past, this is an occasion to make a donation for an excellent cause and honor the lives and commitment of our founders.
Any money they raise will go directly to helping students cover their expense for housing, food, travels, etc.
Our current goal is to raise $4000, one hundred dollars for every year of marriage, but the ultimate goal is to riase $40,000. Anything you can give is a great help. Please consider a donatiion of $40, $400 or even $4000.
Thank you.
