Much remains to be done to ensure full implementation of the Head Start for 230 Pre-School Children in Haiti project as outlined in our most recent report sent to donors two days ago.
This past year because of the unexpected and abrupt suspension of the School Feeding Program, subsidized by the Government of Haiti since 2008, Our Lady of Perpetual Help primary school was not able to provide each child with a nutritious daily meal--for many the only meal of the day. About half of the children suffer from hunger, abdominal pains and/or headaches, conditions that adversely affected their cognitive and educational performance during the school year 2014-2015.
To sustain progress achieved so far through implementation of the early education initiative project, it is urgent, at the onset of the 2015-2016 school year, to resume giving a daily nutritious meal to each child.
Your support for nutrition and education will increase the probability of success in primary school and beyond for preschoolers like Vanessa, Jeremie, Rose and Mayck whose stories were told in previous reports.
One great day to support education and nutrition for the preschoolers and enhance their learning will be WEDNESDAY JULY 15TH starting at 9:00:01 EDT when GlobalGiving will provide a 40% match to donations made on line until available matching funds are spent.
The children and the Sisters pray daily for their benefactors.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or ideas at: info@p-h-ch.org
On behalf of the children MESI ANPIL! (BIG THANK YOU IN HAITIAN CREOLE)
