Visit to Verrettes

Yesterday, Richard went to visit one of the schools where the pilot project will take place if the Lord wills (Verrettes). This is one of the schools we’re inviting to the soccer ministry training program in December.
He went with two Haitian brothers who are on the UEBH School Committee to evaluate the status of the school. They met with the Director, the Assistant Director and the Accountant of the school. The school has about 300 students, about half of which are partially subsidized by Compassion International. Even with this help, the school is in financial difficulty because most parents cannot afford to send their children to school. The tuition is very low—the equivalent of about $20 US/ month or less, plus the cost of uniforms and supplies. We asked this school to communicate to the other four schools that they should begin the selection process to decide which four representatives they will send from their schools to the training in December.
