Have you ever had a dream? I am not sure I have dreamt this one before but as I live I have never known this. To know that your life has been timed out to meet a particular need in the world is over the top. I cannot put words how it feels to reach an amount in fundraising for Haiti that we've never met before. I do not take the credit - but I do say "thank-you!" Thank you to all of you! You who bought a shirt and wear it proud, you adopted a bear to give to a child in Haiti. thank you! To the school children here who have listened and learned about a country where children wake up to hungry bellies and sad hearts - I thank you, children of KW and Canada. I am proud and satisfied. As we go into our final 5 weeks before we leave ... please continue to donate and continue to open your minds and hearts to children in need. Children who have parents, and children who do not. Children who want to learn and children who suffer. Children just like you!
Follow our journey as we leave July 3.
We are a group of local teachers who have been making annual trips to Haiti since 2005. Our focus is to support Haitian principals and teachers with intensive educational training. Our TLC (Teaching and Learning with Compassion) educators understand that learning empowers people to hope, believe and succeed. With compassion undergirding our efforts; our skills, knowledge and expertise has already had far reaching results. Rather than doctors without borders ~ we're teachers without chalkboards.

It's time!
OK. Now that I cannot count on the "famous" to promote Lespwa we are taking on a whole new campaign for the month of June. Adopt a Bear has been running for 3 weeks now and we have raised an awesome amount of money for the children of Haiti. If you adopt a bear, name it, donate an amount of money, and write a message to a child, a very grateful child in Haiti will have your support and your bear! email me at jcrone1051@rogers to Adopt a Bear or to buy a Lespwa T shirt. We leave July 3!!!
