We have 9 new students from the Cornerstone School who are ready for sponsorship!! We have picked some of our hardest working students and we are excited to share them with you.
For just $30 a month, you can provide a sponsor child with an education and daily meal. The process to sponsor a child is easy and convenient. You can email Jennie Ellis at jensellis624@gmail.com or call at (863) 860-5084. We will walk through a 5 minute set up process and within 7 days you will receive a picture magnet and sponsorship notebook telling you all about our program. Will you take a few minutes and join the movement to change a village and a school one child at a time?

Picture with me….it is a Monday morning and 180 students show up as they always do to Cornerstone School, a free school in rural Haiti. They have spent the last 3 years crammed in a one room building smaller than most American bathrooms, then in an open air facility where it rains 9 months of the year, and finally in the building you see here but all of them are in one big room with 6 classes going on simultaneously….but on this particular morning CPI has completed a second floor of this building and they have their first VERY OWN CLASSROOM! None of these children have ever stepped foot in a real classroom. Can you imagine the squeals and cheers coming from the students? I can personally only imagine it.
But you have the opportunity to make this dream come true. We are so close to the goal of the second story of the community center becoming a reality. We only need $3,000 to ship the remaining building supplies. That is so attainable!! Can you help? Would you consider giving? Would you be willing to have a small fundraiser as a family like a bake sale or car wash to help us with this last bit we need to make this reality come true for 180 students who desperately need a classroom in order to really focus and learn?
As if that was not already imagination overload, can you now try to picture the first EVER secondary school in the whole region meeting in those classrooms in the afternoons? And…..(probably the part that really gets me excited out of my mind)….reading and writing classes for the adults who are almost all illiterate? If they can read and write they can help their children withe schoolwork, read the Scriptures, and be able to make business transactions without getting slighted.
Right now I am hearing the theme song for Rocky playing in the background and going through my head are the words “GAME ON! WE GOT THIS!!”
