September 6 – 9, 2017  HAITI

Back to School Service Trip to provide vital school supplies so these children can attend School.

School! will be reopening soon, and kids all over the US will head back to their classrooms, to homework and lunch boxes. However, for most children in Haiti, going back to school is a beautiful but often unattainable dream. Why? because they are in danger of missing school simply because they cannot afford to purchase their schoolbooks and basic school supplies. We can help

Volunteers will help the team of Diakonos International prepare disadvantaged children for the 2017-2018 school year by donating and collecting new school backpacks, filling them with school supplies and toiletries to be distributed on September 7th and 8th to the children living in Diakonos’ Small Community of Family, as well as other children in the communities of Carrefour and Port-au-Prince.
