Six Haitian Children Have Been Sponsored Through SponsorandFeedaChild: Monthly Sponsors' Checks Pay for School and School Supplies

In a country that has the highest illiteracy and child mortality rate in the western hemisphere, any small help counts. That is why we are happy to celebrate our first landmark. Thanks to your generosity and monthly donations, six Haitian children have been sponsored thus far. That means SponsorandFeedaChild has been able to find sponsors for 6 Haitian kids who are able to go to school with the right uniform and supplies.

For those of us who live in Europe, the United States, and Canada, this achievement by a few-months-old program may not mean much, but it means a whole lot for these Haitian children and parents who receive between $20 and $25 monthly for school and school-related expenses. Let us hope that there will be more for them to use on costly food items and health care some day.

How can you join this cause?

There are many ways your agency, your organization, your friends and you can help. The last four hurricanes destroyed schools and limited school supplies. Haitian students are asking for pens, pencils, erasers, glue and other supplies. Some sponsors are sending small boxes of supplies to Haitian students. You too can make your voice heard by organizing a group who will send these materials and supplies to the Caribbean nation of Haiti (I will provide address to you if necessary).

You can decide to contribute only $25 per month to a child whose picture and updated info you will have from time to time. By writing to Sponsorachildemail@gmail.com, you agree to participate in this network-for-good program. You will be right on your way to making the difference in a needy child's life. You agree that education is the best and a guaranteed lifetime investment anyone can make.

Sponsorandfeedachild Program gives you the opportunity to reach out and lift up a needy child. Will you not take this opportunity to do good now?

Once again, thanks to our current sponsors and friends!

Food for the Poor, Inc Banana Bark Handcrafted Cards Help Haitian Parents Feed Family

Food for the Poor, Inc Banana Bark Handcrafted Cards Help Haitian Parents Feed Family

A good friend of mine brought some haitian-handcrafted cards to show me. His daughter loves them so much that she did not want him to give them away. After I read about the organization, I decided to find out more about it by going online. From their field workers, I found current information on the dire situation in Haiti.

These handcrafted cards are made of natural resources, banana barks that are found all over the island. The men and women who make these cards hope customers enjoy their unique beauty and will share them with others. By buying or ordering a packet from them, you will be providing much-needed income for a family living in the poorest country in our hemisphere.

These cards provide income for parents who just want to earn a living to support their families. Bear in mind that most Haitians are desperately poor and earn less than a dollar or two a day. By working on the Banana Bark Program, they are able to get their dignity back and reach some level of self-sufficiency.

Now is the time to order and send banana bark cards.

As for me, I am going to order a few packets of Christmas and all-occasion banana bark cards now.
