Dear Friend of HEART, We hope this message finds you well. As we gear up for the “Straight from the Heart Casino Night Fundraiser”, we wanted to take a moment to share the unique story behind the HEART in Haiti School and the incredible impact your support can make.
The HEART in Haiti School: More Than Just Academics Our school is not just a place of learning; it’s a beacon of hope, resilience, and community empowerment. Founded in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in 2010, the school began in an earthquake-damaged house, which was the family home of our dedicated Director, Schadrac Saint Louis. From these humble beginnings, the school has grown into a thriving institution, thanks to the combined efforts of passionate individuals from around the world.
Why Our School Stands Out:
- Holistic Education: We believe in educating the whole child. Beyond academics, our students learn respect, critical thinking, responsibility, and the importance of community service.
- Sustainability: From our unique school buildings made from shipping containers to our school garden tended by students, we’re committed to sustainable practices that benefit our community and our planet.
- Community Empowerment: We’re not just a school; we’re a community hub. We provide employment opportunities, health and dental clinics, and community workshops, positively impacting over 2000 individuals since our inception.
The Children: Our Future Each child at the HEART in Haiti School carries dreams, aspirations, and the potential to make a difference in the world. By supporting our school, you’re not just helping them get an education; you’re giving them the tools to shape a brighter future for themselves, their families, and their community.
Your presence at the “Straight from the Heart Casino Night Fundraiser” is more than just a night of fun; it’s a testament to your belief in the power of education and community. Let’s come together to ensure that our students continue to receive the best education and opportunities possible.
