Educating Haiti's Future

Hello Friends,

I’m writing you to let you know that God has opened the door for me to go to Haiti on the 13th of September to do teacher training with the staff at Maison de Lumiere School! I’m looking forward to working together with these wonderful Haitian teachers and being a part of helping provide a quality education to the kids there. I’ll be sharing some fun ways to get the children excited about learning, using visual aides in lessons, encouraging active student participation and ideas on displaying what the class is learning on the walls of the classroom.

I just received an email with the current needs of the school and wanted to see if anyone would be interested in donating any of these things or would be willing to do a quick donation drive. Feel free to forward this email to anyone you think would be interested. I’m in the Ventura County area so would be able to receive any donations from the Southern California area and would need these donations by Saturday, the 10th of September.
  • Educational posters (animals, numbers, science life cycles, maps, math concepts, etc.)
  • Construction paper (Large size and small)
  • White chalk (10 boxes)
  • Calculators, pretty nice ones for our teachers/TAs (12)
  • Staplers (10) the regular size w/ regular size staples please

  • Erasers, those standard pink kind (100)
  • Blue and Black Ball point pens (100 each)

  • Math sets: w/ruler, cheap calculator, protractor (50)
  • Bulletin board materials (borders, butcher paper that can fit in a suitcase, die cut letters and shapes)
  • Large calendar sets with months, removable numbers, etc.

* If anything is used, please make sure it’s in good condition. We want to bless them with the best!

I am so thankful for your love and support. What a blessing you all have been to me and the kids at Maison de Lumiere! Please let me know if you can donate any of these items listed!

With Love and Blessing,
Jessica Selga
