We have a problem and we need your help.
For
the 18 years I've worked in Haiti school has begun in October. We pay
registration fees in August, have uniforms for new admissions made in
September and pay scolarite and first trimmest fees first day of school.
This year everything changed. Sept. 1 the ministry of education
informed everyone school would begin Sept. 7. Not much notice. The
ministry also informed us that they were changing all uniforms in state schools. Other schools followed suit and changed uniforms.
So we have 110 kids with last year's uniforms which they can't wear.
The other 50 can get by with last year's uniform but need shoes and
underwear. This means the 110 can't go to school although registration
and first term fees have been paid.
Cost of uniform, underwear and good shoes for 1 student $75. US( $100 CAN), cost of good shoes and underwear $30. US.($40 CAN)
If you can help us with a one time donation or pass this on to someone
who can, I know 160 young people who will be very grateful.
