My "Why"
It's been ten years since our family went on a mission trip to Haiti. Wow how time flies!! I had no idea at the time what an impact this trip would still have on my family ten years later...
Kate has worked hard on our committee as the volunteer and social media co-ordinator. She has recently graduated from university and she will be starting her masters in social work in June. She wants to live her life helping others.
Rob has just started his career as a physio therapist. His clinic has sponsored our event and he will be there to support all the participants. He wants to live his life helping others.
Barry just retired last year. He spent his life helping others. He is now RUNNING 5 km in this event. FYI Barry doesn't run. Just saying...
And me well... when my best friend Louise asks me to help her with anything I always say heck ya.... when it comes to helping others, I am always in...
Let's do this for all those kids who deserve an education!!
With gratitude, Leigh-Ann
Description
Help end devastating poverty in Haiti. Become a Child's Champion!
There is massive potential in Haiti’s youth. 70% of the population is under the age of 35. These are the country’s leaders, professionals, teachers, skilled trades people, agriculturalists, engineers, healthcare professionals and workers - future mothers and fathers.
The waste of human capital is one of the primary sources of instability in Haiti over the last 50 years, making it difficult for the economy to grow and ensure the social progress Haiti needs. The events in Haiti in recent years (the gang blockade of the seaport in September 2022 and take over 80% of Port au Prince in March 2024) are a direct result of the lack of investment in Haiti’s primary human capital.
For nearly 15 years, Haiti in My Heart has educated 300 children annually, aged 3-18 years, to build this human capital. The school's annual student retention rate is 90%+, with a 90% pass rate of the Grade 9 students completing their government exams.
