what you can do now

thanks again for sponsoring appeson so quickly!

in addition to releasing agena (below) and richenette (below, below) from poverty by sponsoring them (**THEY STILL NEED SPONSORS**), you can also take another step to make a difference in haiti right now!

kenyon emailed me and suggested that we contact our state representatives to ask them to provide relief and aid to haiti.

he wrote:

I just wanted you to know that I just sent an email to my elected representative urging them to take action on the issue of Haiti. I understand that the church should do something as well and I pray that it will rise up. But I feel at this time the situation is so desperate that the government would be best suited for sending food and troops to help with its distribution.

you can do that online by clicking here.

let’s meet agena!

Agena lives with her father and her mother. Her duties at home include caring for animals, helping in the kitchen and cleaning. There are 3 children in the family. Her father is sometimes employed as a farmer and her mother is sometimes employed as a farmer.

Singing, playing with dolls and hide-and-seek are Agena’s favorite activities. In pre-school her performance is average and she also regularly attends church activities.

Your love and support will help Agena to receive the assistance she needs to develop her potential. Please pray for her.

This child has been waiting for a sponsor for more than six months. Credit card payment is required to ensure that this child’s wait ends today. Help make a difference in the life of this child, who is anxiously waiting for a sponsor.

Agena lives in the mountainous community of Macieux, home to approximately 3,000 residents. Typical houses are constructed of wood and have corrugated iron roofs. The most commonly spoken languages are Creole and French.

The regional diet consists of maize, beans, chicken, bread and rice. Common health problems in this area include worms, typhoid, coughs and fever. Most adults in Macieux are unemployed but some work as subsistence farmers and earn the equivalent of $21 per month. The community needs employment opportunities, schools and qualified teachers.

Your sponsorship allows the staff of the Macieux Child Development Center to provide Agena with Bible teaching, health education, recreational activities, educational classes, scholastic materials and uniforms. The center staff will also provide community service projects, meetings and educational workshops for the parents or guardians of Agena.
