Institution Mixte Chretienne de Petion-Ville ~ Three Angels’ Christian Academy

~~~~~ I posted this a while back. With the new school year fast-approaching, I wanted to try to reach out to any of my new, and old, readers. Please consider helping the children of Haiti!

The need for quality schools in Haiti is endless as over half of the adult population is illiterate. It is an amazing blessing to see Three Angels strive to decrease this statistic in Haiti. Along with the orphanage and medical clinic is the Three Angels’ Christian Academy; a one-room school for over 355 Haitian children grades preschool through high school. The school provides uniforms, textbooks and instruction for all the students. In addition, the children also receive a meal of bread and peanut butter, known as “mamba,” and fresh water each day they attend. For many of these Haitian children it is their only meal of the day.
Watching the school children enter the gates of Three Angels during my trips to Haiti is such a delight. The smiles on their faces and laughter in their voices brings such joy to me. So many of them come up to many of the missionaries to greet them with a sweet smile, loving “Bonjour,” a giant hug and soft kiss on the cheek. They share their love and they don’t even know us! However, they know because of missionary groups, they are able to go to school and even see a doctor if need be. They are so thankful for the help and outwardly display their gratitude. These children bring such happiness to me while I am in Haiti. It is because of these children, I long to return to Haiti time and time again. They are big reason why I truly understand the importance of helping Three Angels and supporting the organization any way I can!Currently, Three Angels is looking for sponsorships for each student attending IMCP/TACA. There is an endless budget for the needs of the children, faculty and school. Without the help of donations, the school could not and would not exist. A monthly support of $27 is all that is needed to directly benefit the life of a student. These continual donations give the children the opportunity for not only a quality education, but also a meal and clean drinking water each day. Most of the children currently attending TACA would not have the opportunity to attend a school without the Academy and sponsorship help. It is quite disheartening, but so very true!
Three Angels’ Christian Academy would not exist without the help of monthly sponsors. The fact that there are 340+ children in need of help to pay their monthly tuition is troubling to me. These children need our help!!! So, if any of you, my faithful blog readers, have any ideas how to pursue the help needed, please let me know! And, if YOU have found it in your heart to personally sponsor a student at the Academy for less than $1 a day, you can visit www.threeangelshaiti.org/sponsorship.htm to set up an account to begin making your monthly contribution.

This is such a worthy cause and these children need our help! I pray that my work will be successful and Three Angels Christian Academy will continue to be a success for all of the Haitian children and families!
