Art Creation Foundation for Children is a non-profit arts organization created for education and personal growth of children in need in Jacmel, Haiti. OUR ECONOMY IN THE U.S. IS DIFFICULT AND THE MORE DIFFICULT IT GETS, THE MORE DIFFICULT IT IS AS WELL TO 'BEG' FOR SUPPORT. MORE THAN ANYTHING, WE NEED FUNDS ONGOING TO PROVIDE FOR OUR CHILDREN. EVERY DOLLAR DONATED GOES TO HAITI. WE SPEND $0 DONATED FUNDS ON FUNDRAISING, ADMINISTRATION IN THE US, ETC. WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET! I am asking for your help as the next school year approaches ...Our children in Haiti are all thriving and contributions have dwindled due to the economy. None the less, I am committed to sending all 60 children back to school in the fall. This means that we must raise close to $10,000 by end of July. The average cost per child for A FULL YEAR OF SCHOOL including tuition (public school is not free), uniform, books and school supplies is up to $160 per child on average, now that we have some children in lycee. I am pleading for your help here. I know we are all cutting back re spending but if we cut back here, these children lose the opportunity to be literate and some day sell their art and manage their businesses and not have to starve or get on a boat that might sink en route to Florida, to escape Haiti. They are the future of Haiti and they are our future. Please be as generous as you possibly can. I have no choice but to ask and ask and ask and believe me, these childern are worth it! Thank you. JudyNow I am begging ...Friends, I am headed to Haiti on Monday morning (June 22). There, I am to meet with the Director of one of the few schools that does not beat children, and I am being very serious here. To date, our children have beenFriends attending various public schools where corporal punishment (whip with leather straps) is common. I did not know the extent of this until my trip last month. We have one school with a Director who is willing to take all of our children in his school and will sign a contract with me that no child will be phyically disciplined (and he will agree re what types of discipline we consider acceptable). He will be incentived at end of school year if he follows our rules and we will have documentation. I have to pay him the tuition which is close to $3000 of the $10,000 we need for school when I see him. The rest is for uniforms, books, etc. Can you PLEASE help. This is basically coming out of my pocket - can not do otherwise. Every dollar counts, more than you can know. Please help as best you can. Thank you. Judy PS, I hate to ask anyone for money but this transcends my own feelings/reticence.
