Beginning construction on the school in the village of Foison has truly been a miracle. Currently, there is a strong foundation for the new school building in Foison. This is a direct result of the partnership of UPC’s children and the community of Foison. Last year, all of the children at UPC learned about Haiti and the work of Bruce and Deb Robinson. The kids prayed for Bruce and Deb as well as the Haitian people and communities. They also collected their change to put towards the foundation of the new school building in Foison. These kids believe that there is a reason for hope in Haiti and in their own lives. They have shown this by investing their prayers and money into a partnership with their peers in Haiti.
I was able to see the impact of our kids’ on our missionaries, partners, and the children of Foison. When Bruce, Deb, and local Haitian pastors heard that the money given for the foundation came from children and in the form of coins, they were amazed. This news seemed to inspire the community. The news of our kid’s prayers and offering ignited the community of Foison. People of every age came out to help contribute to the building process: old women hauled rocks for concrete, young kids brought water, men moved boulders and dug holes. It was beautiful to see. As of now, the foundation has been laid. A strong foundation. With your help, together with the community of Foison, we can finish pouring the floor, building up the walls, and putting on a roof.
