Three schools



  










Bon jour! Bonjou! As you know, I am raising funds for projects at three schools in Haiti. I welcome your donations for any of the projects at any of these schools. I was hoping to begin construction on the Science Academy when I go to Haiti on April 4th, 2012 (in 3 weeks!) but I haven't raised enough money to begin building. Can you help?

Would you or your school/religious group/work/organization like to “adopt” one of the specific projects?  Please let me know and I will send you more info, pictures, and updates on your project. You will be acknowledged on this blog as well as on the wall of the school.

Thank you so very much for helping Haiti through education!

Below are the estimated minimal costs to construct VERY BASIC facilities.


Tabarre Science Academy (middle school): the Tabarre Science Academy has a plot of land and is ready to begin construction once I have raised the funds. Here are the things the school requires:

-construction of 2 classrooms ($3000) and a science lab ($3000)
-office, security wall, bathrooms, experimental gardens, etc…($6000)
-10 long desks with benches for 40 children to use ($1000)
-chalk boards and instructional materials ($500)
-cost of a shipping container to transport donations from the VA area ($5000?)
-science-themed children’s books and text books (contact me for an address to mail these)
-donations of any type of science-related equipment (health, medical, engineering, environment,
agriculture, etc…) (I first need a shipping container before I can start collecting these donations. Contact me if you can ship to Haiti) ($2000-$8000 if purchased in Haiti)
-generator for electricity ($500)
-a person or organization who can assist us with making our school environmentally friendly by
collecting rainwater, installing solar panels, composting toilets, etc…(please contact me)

Tourism and Hospitality Vocational School (high school): we are ready to begin construction on our vocational school once we have determined we have a reliable water source on our plot of land in Titanyen. Here are the school’s immediate needs:

-a person or organization who can dig a well (please contact me)
-a person or organization who can assist us with making our school environmentally friendly by
  collecting rainwater, installing solar panels, composting toilets, etc…(please contact me)

-construction of full-service restaurant for training including kitchen and dining area ($20,000)
