Students at Institution Mixte Compassion Divine are learning daily in an effort to break the cycle of poverty in Haiti. However, the school can only stay open with the generous support of people like you. It costs $1,500 per month just to pay the staff for the school that has grown to almost 300 students. That's 13 staff members making just over $100 per month salary.

That's just to pay the teachers. That doesn't help with building repairs and maintenance, school supplies or food for these children.

I know people who could help by donating $100 to pay a teacher's salary for a month. Two people donating $50 a month will do the same thing.

Maybe you would consider sponsoring a teacher every month! These students can change Haiti if given the opportunity.

Tomorrow is Agriculture and Labor Day in Haiti. Today, the parents of students at Institution Mixte Compassion Divine donated vegetables to the school. Those vegetables are being cooked with meat and rice to serve lunch to the students. The students will also learn about where the food came from and how to grow vegetables.

Institution Mixte Compassion Divine is a school for approximately 250 students, ages 3-12, in Damien in Port au Prince Haiti. The school is funded by contributions, most of which come through and from Equipping Haiti. There are just two months left in this school year, and we are still searching for funds to pay the teachers for the rest of the year. It costs $1,375 to pay the 13 staff members at the school each month. that is a little more than $100 per month for each of the staff.

Please prayerfully consider making a a contribution to Equipping Haiti to pay these teachers. You can contribute in one of the following ways:

- Send a check to Equipping Haiti, 706 S. Buchanan St., Marion, IL 62959

Friends, it has been cold again here in much of the US. Our friends in Haiti are still in school looking to keep learning. So far we are running a little short for the schools support for February. Please consider making a donation to a great cause.

While it's been cold and icy or snowy in Illinois, in Damien, Haiti, students have been back in school since last week. Equipping Haiti partners with Institution Mixte Compassion Divine to help provide an education to nearly 250 students ages 3 through 12. Teachers at Institution Mixte Compassion Divine earn less than $100 per month to help these students. We are asking for you to make a contribution to Equipping Haiti this week to help cover the teacher's salary for the month of January. The total cost to pay all of the teachers is $1,375 for a month. That is for 13 teachers (one has two grades and gets paid double).

You can send your contributions by PayPal to [email protected] or by Venmo to -Haiti. 100-percent of your donation will go directly to the cause. The board members of Equipping Haiti pay the transfer fees to get the money to Haiti.

Please help us in our campaign to fund Institution Mixte Compassion Divine!

School has started and we are receiving more students than ever before. Because we are trying to provide an education for students in Damien between the ages of 3 and 12, we need your help.

Equipping Haiti has started a fundraiser to come up with $15,000 to fund our school for an entire year. It would be a tremendous relief to be able to assure our teachers and staff that we can pay their salaries. May of the students and their families cannot pay the tuition, but we want to be able to provide them with an education to help break the cycle of poverty in Haiti. The first monthly payday is coming up Oct. 31.

Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Equipping Haiti for IMCD. You can do so by checking out the GoFundMe campaign which will be linked in the comments. You can also donate through PayPal at [email protected]; or donate through Venmo -Haiti
