STUDENTS HERE IN HAITI NEED YOUR HELP!
How often do we take for granted our ability to read our Bibles, get directions, or attend
school? You can change the life of a child for just pennies per day by giving them the gift
of an education!
We have over 150 students who still need sponsors. The deadline for
school sponsorship is quickly approaching. If you are interested in
sponsoring a student this year please complete the School Sponsor
Information Form to let us know. To complete your donation,
please be sure to go to the Donate Page and follow the prompts
according to your country of residence.
If you are already a sponsor, then please do the
same thing and fill out the form so we know that you intend to sponsor
again for the 2015-2016 school year. If you are already enrolled in the
Auto Pay program, your payments will continue as usual.
If sponsors are not found, then these children will
have to sit home this school year and a lot of the knowledge they learned
last year will probably be lost. They need a sponsor so they can attend
school and continue to build on the things they have already learned.
Funds are needed no later than first week of September 2015. Any funds
that come in after this, will have to be credited to the next school year.
We must hand out funds for schooling to the students during the first
week of September since most schools start September 7th. We do not
have the available funds to help the children pay for schooling if a sponsor is not found.
"All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in
them."
Earvin "Magic" Johnson
Please be that someone who believes in these children!
RETURNING TO VISIT THE COUNTRY OF THEIR BIRTH
From left to right: Angelica, Kendall, Chery who
helps us at the airport, Lenae, and Matina.
It is always so much fun when children
who have been adopted come back to see
us. Since I have staff who has been with
me since 1998 (Ti Jocelyne) and several
who started in 2000, many of them
remember the children when they were
here. Last week we had a young lady who
is now 18 years old and was adopted in
1998 come back to see us and she even
was able to find her birth family in a small mountain village outside of Port-au-Prince! It
was a miracle because I had not heard from this family since 2000.
Now we have two moms who have returned to Haiti with their girls for a week of helping
out at the orphanage and allowing the girls to see the country of their birth. IBESR does
not understand why these children would want to come back, but I can tell them why.
Because until these children can see it, touch it, and smell it, Haiti is not real to them and
they need to come back to experience life in Haiti! We hope to see more children return as
time goes on and experience life in Haiti.

Combined Federal Campaign
For any of you who are federal employees or have family or friends who are federal employees,
GLA has been approved to participate as a charitable organization in the Combined Feder
Campaign! You can designate GLA as the charity that you wish to contribute to. Any questions
contact Jay in our Colorado Office at [email protected] or call her at 719-638-4348.
Opportunities to Raise Funds for GLA
Many people have asked us for brochures, newsletters, videos, and help on setting up a
display when talking about GLA at their churches or organizations. GLA also has a
promotional kit that you can use to bring the story of GLA to your church, community
organization, family and friends, school, and family groups! Show some of our videos
which are included in the packet. Sit around and talk about Haiti and the children over a
piece of cake and some coffee. Then challenge everyone to help feed the children! For
more information, check out the new Promotional page on the GLA web site.
Get your friends and families to join you to see who can raise the most funds for the children! Put a box at your
work place if they will allow it or your church. Then ask people to help feed the children for one month at $1.00 per
day and see who can fill their boxes up the quickest! Many people can put loose change in their boxes and still fill
them up! Because when you feed a child, you feed their future!
