Happy Birthday 2 You Jean Louis

Happy Birthday 2 You Jean Louis

Happy Birthday 2 You Jean Louis

In honor of Jean Louis’ vision which started 21 years ago – to help the children of Haiti through education and a safe place to live and grow, we are asking for an honorary donation. Jean Louis will be turning 55! We are hoping to raise $4,290 – the funds spent this year for school start-up costs. Please consider a gift of $55 today to honor Jean Louis’ 55th birthday AND to impact our students at Maison Fortuné Orphanage.

Every year we must plan for back-to-school start-up costs, including textbooks, school supplies, uniforms and shoes. Our current orphanage enrollment is 177 boys and girls – that’s 177 new shoes and uniforms!

“Pappy Lele” – as he is affectionately referred to by our resident girls, has endeared himself to the entire Hinche, Haiti community. He is a father, mentor, and community leader. After embarking on two separate Ambassador trips to the earthquake ravaged “Big South” last month, I learned of Jean Louis’ annual goodwill within the local Hinche community at Christmas time. He knows the community very well – and knows those who are struggling due to poverty, sickness and even mental health issues. In the weeks leading to Christmas, Jean Louis takes it upon himself to share basic necessities with those in Hinche who are struggling. He embodies the true spirit of the season (more on this in a later e-newsletter) and love for his fellow man. While his impact has been the greatest on the youth in his community, he himself is no stranger to the perils of life in Haiti. As the son of a destitute farmer, Jean Louis was able to change his path because of education.

Please consider a $55 donation today in honor of Jean Louis!

Thank you for your continued support in helping us raise the future leaders of Haiti! Please make your gift today!

Happy 55th Birthday Jean Louis! You are an inspiration to us all!

School Begins Again!

School Begins Again!

School Begins Again!

After a longer than expected summer recess, schools have resumed in Haiti. The boy’s campus is again bustling with activity as 222 day students arrive on campus to join with the resident students to begin their school day. From mathematics to Spanish and French, our eager students are learning in a safe environment with caring teachers and staff because of your continued support. Our high school students attend high school off campus at either St. Marten, St. Andrew or the Lycee.

The annual start-up costs for our students include funding for new uniforms and all the necessary undergarments/uniform shoes, new textbooks, and classroom supplies for our teachers. We thankfully had items leftover from our 2020 container shipment to augment the supply costs. However, new textbooks and uniforms are a necessity every year. Funding for the 2021 school start-up fees are $4,290.

Every day, our campus staff on both the boy’s campus and the girl’s campus are hard at work to provide overall care for our residents. From clean uniforms to nutritious meals – the children of Maison Fortuné Orphanage are well cared for – so they can learn and grow in a safe environment. Our eager-to-learn students are grateful for your continued support!

In honor of Jean Louis’ birthday next week, we are asking for donations to match his age and cover our school start-up expenses. Jean Louis will be turning 55! We need 78 supporters to help us reach this goal…so please consider a gift of $55 today to honor Jean Louis’ birthday AND to impact our students at Maison Fortuné Orphanage!

Thank you for your continued support! With your help, the children of Maison Fortune Orphanage will become future leaders of Haiti. Please make your gift today!
