Soaring School Sponsor Appeal Aug. 2023

For the first time in five years, we’re excited that school is set to start on time in Haiti. On Monday, Sept. 4, kids across the country—including those sponsored by Soaring in Northern Haiti—are scheduled to return to the classroom for the 2023-24 academic year.

Our hope and prayer is that nothing like the pandemic or other disease outbreaks such as cholera, nor political violence, civil unrest or assassination will intervene to delay the start of school as they have unfortunately every year recently.

The return of the school year a month from now is also the perfect time for our school sponsors to make your donations. We welcome both returning sponsors and new ones to contribute to our Soaring Sustainers’ Fund and designate for a school sponsorship to ensure that we can sustain this key program!

With inflationary forces in Haiti’s economy, elementary student sponsorships are now $250 a year & secondary student sponsorships are $400. This covers tuition, books, uniforms, school supplies, and toiletries. Yet this is still an amazing return on investment, and we can also combine smaller donations where necessary to create full sponsorships.

Our goal this upcoming academic year is sponsoring 65 kids. Jeana, Olivier & Carline (above, left to right) are 3 of our available student sponsees, among dozens of others. Soaring launched an Education Committee last year, and its members have worked hard to reinvigorate our school sponsorship program which is Soaring’s longest-standing program. Each sponsor will be matched with a Haitian student & receive their educational details and a photo. Thank You for your prayers & consideration! ~Pastor Laura

Each of these Haitian students—and dozens more like them—are in need of U.S. Sponsors for their Education. We are encouraging Faithful Soaring Supporters like you and/or your congregation to prayerfully consider sponsoring an elementary or secondary (high school & middle school) student.
