Montessori Community School children helping Haiti




Thank you to the elementary school classes at Montessori Community School in Honolulu, Hawaii  for their help with the PECH project!  The 6-9 classes at Montessori Community School donated over $100 to help Gentille Hirondelle school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti!  The donations from the children in Honolulu will purchase school supplies for the children in Haiti.

Montessori children also donated more than 100 children's books to begin a small library at Gentille Hirondelle school. These donations will allow the Haitian children to check out library books for the first time in their life!

In addition, both 6-9 year old classes as Montessori Community School created and laminated original artwork to decorate the rebuilt Haitian school. Your gifts will certainly bring smiles to the faces of the Haitian children!  Some of their world map masterpieces are shown above.  Many other beautiful creations are already packed  in a box ready to go to Haiti, but I promise I'll put pictures of them on this blog when I present your art to the children in Haiti.

Thank you!  Merci!  Mesi! to the teachers (Mr. Mueller, Ms. Susan, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Browning, Ms. Cindy, and Ms. Crystal) for participating in the PECH project. 

Everyone CAN make a difference!  You can too!  Please consider a donation to our project.
