Teaneck Packathon for Haiti 2016

What a great year Future Forward for Haiti has had working with our

partners in Trois Mares and Chapottin, Haiti!! In June our travel team

joined the Trois Mares community to celebrate the graduation of ten of our

students from 6th grade. All ten students passed the government-

administered examination and will attend secondary school this academic

year. Also, 25 adults learned to read through our Adult Literacy Program

in Trois Mares.

In Chapottin, the travel team witnessed the completion of a 22,000-gallon

cistern with a filtering device to provide clean water for our children and

their families in that village. Both schools are thriving and reliable

sponsors are contributing monthly to compensate the teachers and cooks

for their valuable work with the students.

On Saturday, November 12, 2016, once again, we plan to join hundreds of

volunteers at the Teaneck Packathon to pack 100,000 school

lunches for these children in Haiti. Also we plan to help farmers

and businesses in Haiti by locally sourcing food for an additional 50,000

meals.

The children are students in the LIght and Peace Schools in Trois Mares

and Chapottin, way out in the mountains of Haiti. Without school lunches,

many of them cannot count on getting even one meal a day. We plan to

provide a reliable, nutritious, daily lunch program all year

for the 450 children in the two schools that we support. It will take a lot of

food--almost 10 tons of rice, beans, vegetables and healthy vitamins. We

need to raise money to buy these ingredients

.

Reaching our goal of $53,000 will mean:

Lunches for 450 students 5 days a week, 12 months a year;
A classroom for Grade 6 so they can meet indoors in all weather.

Of the total, we am making it our personal goal to raise $1500. We will appreciate a contribution of any amount towards this goal.
