Big problems in Haiti- Can we do something?

We are on lunch duty to help feed 190 school children in the village of Bois Negresse.

School Lunch Every Day, Every Month is Something

What do you remember about lunch time when you were a growing student? I can recall really looking forward to it- whether it was my mom's home-packed lunch or the one served at school. I can't imagine going to school without eating lunch! Can you?

No matter where you are in the world, every school needs teachers and every student needs lunch. Every day, every month. Without lunch, kids can't focus. They fall asleep in class. Their brains don't develop properly. They get discouraged and don't progress to the next grade. 

We can do something to help Haiti by providing a full lunch program for the school children living in the rural village of Bois Negresse. Will you help us raise funds to do this for the school year ahead? With your help, those kids can grow up strong and smart. They can take advantage of education and maybe even solve some of the big problems in their country some day.

It will take about $28,000 to provide lunch for all 190 children for a year, and only $400/month more to cover the remaining teacher salaries. If we all do a little something we can reach this lofty goal together. School lunch will be served to these children. Please consider joining us.

Gala Haitian Celebration of Plenty!

 You are invited to lunch with Vanessa Lefranc Victor

 Sunday, October 25 at 11:30 at Christ the King Lutheran Church.

We will provide the rice and beans.

Plus, if you have anything to share,

bring it along in the tradition of the saints in Haiti,

"To ensure everyone eats something on the Lord's Day."

Lunch is sponsored by Thrivent.

Let me tell you some things about Haiti:

  • Nearly half of Haiti's population is starving.
  • The average income is $350 per year. Teachers at our schools make $132/month
  • Only 60% of adults can read at a 6th grade level.
  • Many families cannot provide even one meal a day.
  • Their government unravelled when the president was shot in 2021 and gang violence makes city unsafe (see the map below).
  • The US government plans to "return" 350,000 people back to Haiti though many do not speak Kreyol and Haiti cannot absorb them
