Sponsored Child Program Benefits
1. Christian education
We are educating students from preschool through college. Our teachers begin each school day with Bible classes. We also have the New Missions High School and The Royal Caribbean Institute training Haitians in the areas of Business, Bible, and Education.
2. Nutritious meal each day
Each school day our elementary students receive a hot meal. This is often the only meal these children will have each day.
3. Medical care and regular health check-ups
Our medical clinic is staffed with Christian health workers, including a pharmacists, lab, technician, dentist, nurses, doctor, and visiting medical teams that do specialized work, such as minor surgeries and restorative dental work, eye exams and eyeglass fittings. We administer care from basic first aid to disease prevention for our students and their families.
4. School books
Our elementary students receive their own textbooks. In a country where 80 percent of the population is illiterate, these books are treasured by our students.
5. School uniform
Our elementary students are provided with a school uniform each year. Clothes for their children are not easily afforded by Haitian families; these uniforms assure that our students will be able to come to school well dressed. At the same time, the colors of the uniforms help to distinguish that they are in a New Missions school.
6. Photo Indentification Card
Each student has a photo identification card that is used when receiving gifts and correspondence from his or her sponsor. This card assures that each child maintains an active role with New Missions. For the most students, this is the only photo identification they have.
7. Letter correspondence
You may write to your child. Corresponding with your child by sending letters, cards, and photos of you and your family enables a special bond between of friendship to develope between you and your child.
8. Birthday and Christmas gift fund
Special money gifts for your child's birthday are received in a fund based program. These gifts can be sent along with your monthly support to celebrate their special occasion. the fund provides all students with Christmas gifts and special holiday celebrations, helping each child feel special and loved.
9. Sunday school programs and local churches
Eighteen churches with Sunday school programs have been established in the various communities surrounding New Missions, enabling Bordmer, Brache, Concrab, LaSalle, two in Leogane, two in Flanc, Masson, Signeau, and TiRiviere.
10. Missionaries working together with your child
Ever since New Missions began in 1983, missionaries have been in the field woring with our school programs and churches.
11. Recent photographs of your child
You can request a recent photograph of your child at any time. The photograph will come assembled in a frame complete with biographical information of your child.
12. Personal visit with your child in Haiti
You are encouraged to come to Haiti to visit New Missions and have the opportunity to meet your sponsored child. Meeting and talking with your child is an exciting time and creates a lasting memory for both you and your child.
Kids Adopting and Feeding Hungry, Needy Kids: Places Where You Can Find Hungry, Cold Children to Sponsor and Adopt
Here is a summary list of places where kids are getting involved in the project of helping other children. How about us, adults? What are we doing to help a needy kid?
Some of the countries that come to our mind are:

2. Bangladesh and India (Children living in the slums of Calcuta and Mombai etc.)
3. Brasil: Children living in the flavelas of major cities
4. San Salvador and Guatemala: These children are recruited by MS drug dealers and gang members
5. Argentina: Children looking for food in the garbage piles
6. Liberia: Children who are affected by fighting.
7. Congo: Children are affected and displaced by internal fighting, wars etc.
8. Sudan: Wars, fighting, famine, drought etc
9. Various cities and communities of the U.S.A such as New Orleans, Mendota, CA, Madera, CA etc.

SponsorandFeedaChild: How to Adopt A Haitian Student, A Haitian Teacher or A Hatian School
These three girls love school. They want to complete their education, but paying for school supplies and school fees poses a huge problem. Just like any teenagers, they want to take care of themselves and buy their supplies. They would like to find a sponsor willing to adopt them. By adopting them, the sponsor will send them a stipend so they can afford to pay their school fees.
I visited this school while I was in Haiti. I know this very dedicated teacher. The classroom he is teaching in is very bare. It has no decorations and required materials. While it is compulsory to wear uniforms, many of the kids may not have textbooks to study and notebooks to do their homework in. Kids were asking me for pens and pencils. I felt so ashamed because I did not have enough to give to them. This teacher and the school can use some help. If you would like to contribute to his monthly salary, please let us know. Haitian teachers can go many months without a paycheck. We can do something about keeping dedicated teachers in the classroom.
This young man in the above picture is a good student. He can speak French, Creole, and English. Well, let us say he is working on his English. He wants to take English classes so he can improve his communication. Textbooks are expensive. Finding a good teacher is not cheap. If you want to support this young man in his pursuit of his education, please let us know.
Just mention any of the above requests in your email to us, write to us at sponsorachildemail at gmail.com. Or use the Paypal link on the right to make a donation to any of them.
