“School 2 School – Hope 4 Haiti”

QUISQUEYA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL update – Port au Prince, Haiti

Many have lost family members, many are injured, have lost their houses, their businesses etc. There will be a temporary hospital/surgery room in our chapel and a trauma centre on the basketball court starting Friday Jan 15. We hope to be able to have a water and food distribution from our campus also. Our soccer field is now the temporary living area for some of our staff and national workers, the PreK/K playground is occupied by children an orphanage from our community. The situation in Haiti at this time makes it impossible to function as a school…..
You may be asking, “What can I do to help?”. Next week, FMCS will be sponsoring a coin drive to help provide needed funds for those affected by this disaster. As you may all ready know, organizations are requesting monetary donations in lieu of boxed goods or supplies. Therefore, FMCS will be collecting money to benefit our ACSI “sister school” in Port au Prince, Haiti.

• Tuesday, January 19 – Donations will be collected by homeroom teachers.

• Wednesday, January 20 – Donations will be collected. In addition, Christian T-shirt dress down - $1.00 – money collected will also be donated to the relief fund.

• Thursday, January 21 – Donations will be collected by homeroom teachers.

• Friday, January 22 – Donations will be collected. In addition, “Wear Red for Haiti” – dress down wearing a red shirt and jeans - $1.00 – money collected will be donated to the relief fund.

We ask you to prayerfully consider donating to this worthy cause. Above all, please pray for the people of Haiti as they go through this terrible tragedy. We are praying that the Lord would not only provide comfort in this time of need, but would also work in the hearts of the men, women, and children of Haiti.
