The Haiti Empowerment Project

It’s time for another HEP reunion! Let’s start thinking about dates.

Fun times at the first night of the HEP reunion!!! Love, love, love them!

Please consider donating to this organization. It has a great reputation in Haiti.

Help Haiti with a Matching Gift For 24 hours, all gifts will be doubled up to $5,000 to support relief efforts in Haiti.

We are looking for US classrooms, schools or districts to partner with for next year. There is a K-6 school in Croix-des-Bouquet, Haiti that started when people moved to the countryside following the earthquake. The persistence and insistence on educating the children of this community-owned school is awe-inspiring. Please consider supporting a teacher from this school. It is only $100 a month and could help the students of your school understand the meaning of international collaboration, meaningful giving, and cultural exchange. If you're not an educator, please consider supporting a teacher for next year either as an individual or a group. Thank you for your consideration. Message me it you're interested in this collaboration.

Come see The Haiti Empowerment Project - hosted by the Worthington Library and the Worthington International Friendship Association tomorrow - September 22, 2015 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm!
