Sponsor a School, a Teacher, a Child or an Old Man for Christmas

Help This Teacher Buy Supplies for His School! Lend a hand to an Old Man!

If you are looking for a good cause to participate in, SponsorandFeedaChild Program, based in Haiti, offers you many opportunities to help somebody in need. You can choose to help a teacher get a paycheck which he or she so deserves. This way, the teacher will be able to feed his/her own family. You can choose to send a donation to a school where the students will be able to benefit from the books and supplies that the teacher can buy. During my visit to Haiti last year, I witnessed the lack of basic supplies such as pencil, paper and mother class materials that were missing.

I had to visit my former teacher who introduced me to his class. Believe me on this. The classroom needs were evident. Your donation will help supply this classroom. I also visited two other schools for the short time I was there. Each one of the school could receive some donations. Some students were sent to the principal's office because they did not have textbooks to study and do their homework. I saw five students who were kept in the Principal's office for this reason.

You can choose to sponsor a child so he/she can buy the right uniform, textbooks and supplies. Haitian students wear uniforms to school. Many parents can not afford to buy them. So when you make a contribution, all the proceeds will go to the school, child or school teacher. Our group of dedicated volunteers makes sure the designated individual or entity receives the money to change their situation. We, volonteers, participate in this endeavor by making a donation in the forms of transfer fees which we pay. We become partners this way.

You can also choose to sponsor an old man who has few relatives left to take care of him. The relatives he has are also going through harsh economic times and are unable to feed their own family, let alone another mouth.

If you are looking to sponsor a child, a teacher or a school for Christmas, take a look at SponsorandFeedaChild Program this year.

SponsorandFeedaChild Program: Why Do We, Volunteers, Do What We Do?

SponsorandFeedaChild Program volunteers feel motivated to speak and work on behalf of the voiceless because they do not want to be considered accomplices in the plight of hunger, diseases and other devastations that plague third world countries. We believe that the children need a voice. Some of us were once like them. We got a voice from somebody who decided to do something to change our situation. A good number of us are here today because somebody gave us a helping hand.

If you travel to Haiti and other third world countries, you will be tormented for a while by the level of poverty and desperation you will encounter both in the capital city of Haiti, Port-Au-Prince and especially in the provinces or countryside. Some parents want to work, but there is no job creation. Even when they work the fields, lack of rain and modern agriculture methods or hurricanes do not allow the lands to provide a good yield. For example, the arable lands in the Plateau Central, St Marc, Artibonite, went to the sea due to the recent floodings. Everywhere you turn in Haiti, there are needs. Kids need to go to school. They need to eat. Teachers need to know that their hard classroom work will be rewarded by a paycheck at the end of the month.

These are some of the reasons we do what we do willingly. We want kids to hope again. We want them to be in school and fed at least one good meal. We want to help them get some level of healthcare. That is why we continue to be their voice on this site.

What can you do to help?

You can help us meet these needy kids' needs. If you can not contribute directly, you may tell your friends and others about the problems of this country. For many years, the solutions were left in the hands of governments that promise to send aid and a huge check. What we know is that despite the good intentions of the donor countries, some or most of that aid gets squandered and wasted. And the people who need it the most never benefit from it. It is time that we individuals get involved on an individual basis. People to People, we can reach out to the needy kids and their parents.

Help us help them.
