In May 2010 Adams School in Seattle, Washington held a Penny Harvest that raised $1,000. The Student Leaders then decided upon five charities in which to donate a portion of the money. This included a $150 donation to Kids to Kids International’s Special Haiti Relief Project! Read more
An Update on Haiti from KTKI Ambassador Brady
Yorktown High School for Haiti
We have just returned from a very successful trip to Haiti! The YHS T-shirts and the KTKI postcards were a huge success. What a beautiful country, strong people and spirit. The country seems so very fragile, and it is not obvious who is in charge.
The photo of the little boy with the shirt was taken in an 8 room schoolhouse in Marigot. It is a beachside town, small, near the Renaissance town of Jacmel. The school teaches 475 elementary school kids. A teacher’s salary is $600 for the year. The kids get one hot meal cooked by the mothers (they rotate) which is often their only meal of the day. Each kid is also able to bring some food to his family at the end of the school day. School is in session from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm because it is too hot to try and hold classes. I visited this school after the kids had gone home, so I left the postcards with a colleague who will be sending us pictures of the distribution of the postcards.
The photos of the two girls in the YHS shirts were taken in the small beachside town of L’Acul which is near Leogane. These kids did not attend school and lived in one of the tent cities. This area was about 10 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake and the damage to these villages/schools is severe.
Thank you so, so much for all your work– to YHS, KTKI, French Hill, etc. You brought many smiles to kids in Haiti and it was very humbling and special to witness it!
