Wedding donations

For those of you who are interested, particularly those of you who generously donated money to the Kenbe La Foundation in lieu of giving us wedding presents, we are now in Haiti teaching at the school where the money has been sent.

The Children of Haiti Project is a school that was set up after the 2010 earthquake. It provides a very high level of education to the most underprivileged children in Port Au Prince, Haiti. Most of the children are from  the local tent camp, which we drive through every day to get to work. It is like nothing we have ever seen before. The tents are cramped, the temperature is over 30 every day, and there is poor sanitation. Still, many of these tent camps (that have housed about a million people at it's worst) are being removed and little by little people are getting into more decent housing.

There are many children who have come from abusive environments, many children who have no parents and sometimes even no family left. They are being taught by very good teachers and there is a very high standard of education, food and medical care supplied at the COHP School.

If you wish to make a donation, you can do so through the Kenbe La Foundation, or through the Children of Haiti Project website.

Thanks.

Jono and Lou xx
