The Gift of Education

Looking for that perfect Christmas gift this holiday season? How about sponsoring a child in Haiti? At Adoration Christian Center we currently have about 200 students that need sponsorship. 120 of those students attend École Chrétienne Adoration and the other 80 are sponsored to go to other schools, either secondary school or a school geared to a specific special need. Right now only 141 of these students have a sponsor which means that we need 59 more sponsors.

When you sponsor these children you are giving them a chance at life. All of these students come from difficult living situations and probably wouldn't be going to school if it wasn't for the sponorship program. But because people have chosen to sponsor them they are receiving an Christian education. Our secondary students are receiving weekly Bible training as they attend a Reformed Bible Study led by the Pastors of the Presbyterian church. They are also learning responsibility as they come in once a week a clean the school. Their education is important to them too and so they put forth the effort to ensure that they continue in the program.

So are you interested in sponsoring a student? It's only $30 Canadian each month and that provides a child with a uniform, books, meals, class trips, and a Christian education. For more info or to sponosor a child check out CDIA's website http://www.cdiacanada.com/
