Sponsors Needed

December 23, 2021 Posted by Beate Rufft

After many delays due to COVID 19 and the upheaval in Haiti, our wonderful Assistant Director Luckner Estimable was able to send us photos of many of the students at IMKH (Institution Mixte Karen Huxter).

The good news is that our school continued to have a strong enrollment with 422 preschool to grade 13 students. Although, many of our students have been sponsored, the sad news is that 125 of our students require support by way of sponsorship.

We are posting photos of some of these students in the hopes that if you have ever considered sponsoring a student, you would wish to do so at this time.

Please reach out to Beate Rufft at (email) beate.rufft@hatshaiti.org, as she is working on the sponsorship programme this year.

Payments can be made by Interac e-transfer (preferred method) or several other ways. Our website link for the sponsorship programme is:

Sponsor » Hands Across the Sea (HATS Haiti)

Here are photos of some of the children, and more are available on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/hats.haiti
