Teach an illiterate Haitian to read for only $70!

As you know, I am partnering with Colorado Spring for Haiti with the joint mission of "helping Haiti through better education". We are currently raising money to build a new science school, but until we've raised sufficient funds, we wanted to embark on some less capital-intensive education projects.

Because over 50% of the adult population in Haiti is illiterate, we are going to begin an adult literacy program in the Tabarre community in Haiti. Would you like to sponsor a Haitian adult to learn to read and write? For only $70 you can give the gift of literacy! Your tax deductible $70 donation will cover instruction and supplies for a 10 months of literacy course for one adult. We will send you the name and photo of each adult student you sponsor to learn to read and write.

As soon as we have 20 sponsors we can begin our first class!
Do you have experience teaching literacy or with French (high school French is ok) and are interested in volunteer teaching? Please contact me at PECHHaiti@gmail.com.
