Humanitarian Aid Project

Children who feel good perform well.

Children who perform well feel good.

 A healthy student performs better in the classroom

than a student who is feeling “under the weather,” who is

fighting a toothache; who hasn’t eaten breakfast, or who

feels that he doesn't matter.  A student who is both physically and emotionally cared for is prepared mentally to take on the

task of being educated.  They are the students who will

make the most significant changes both for themselves and

for their families.  Children are the future and much is

expected of them.  As in the case of Samoan children, they

are expected to give back to their families, to provide and

care for their parents and to bring honor to their communities. 

Humanity goes along way in cultivating hope.  Help us open some windows of opportunity, and to inspire some dreams. 

Giving hope, one child at a time

Efforts

• Student kits- $10.00

Include a school bag, pencil, eraser, sharpener, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, comb, band-aids and other needful items.  The kits let the children know that someone cares, that someone believes in them, and that they can hope for something better.  The children are excited to receive them and almost immediately cover their cuts and scratches with the band-aides.  They treasure the items given them, often hiding them from their parents and siblings as to not lose them.  Small gifts bring big smiles.

• Teacher kits- $20.00

Include teacher bag, pen, first aid kit, crayons, scissors, tape and other needful items.  Such supplies are hard to come by and can make a difference for the teachers as well as the students.  We want the teachers to know how important they are and how much their efforts are appreciated.

• School uniforms- $15.00

Includes material, seamstress, and slippers.  Uniforms are required of all students in the island of Samoa, a financial burden that can be difficult to bear for some families. 

• Books-

English is compulsory in all schools beginning as early as second grade.  Educators do their best to teach the subject but they lack in resources and books.  Children’s books, youth chapter books, and early readers are difficult to find.  We are looking for new or gently used books.
