New School Building for St. Michel

Thanks to some incredibly generous donations from many of you – plus the incredibly hard work of our volunteers who hosted yard sales and other fundraising events – The Haiti Fund was able to fund the construction of a new school building for the 350+ elementary age children at the Church of Christ in St. Michel.

On November 21, 2014 several of us were able to attend the official “ribbon cutting” ceremony, and share in the celebration as the children were ushered into their new classrooms for the first time.

A few photos…
