Kahoa Elementary children right here in Lincoln, Nebraska have been learning about Haiti all year in conjunction with raising funds to support our children ( all of OUR children ) at the Fayeton Orphanage in Gonaives, Haiti. In most cases an earthquake in Haiti would not have affected too deeply a child in gradeschool here in the US. However, because of their studies before the earthquake they were deeply affected and worried about the kids they had been learning so much about. Last weekend as they finished their year they had a MAJOR garage sale which was hugely successful! Last weekend as they were doing the sale the 250 pictures they drew and laminated were being hand delivered to each of the kids at the orphanage. Below are a few the heart warming pictures of the Fayeton kids receiving their pictures. They will treasure them forever as they are a few of their only belongings. More importantly they know they have new friends from Lincoln, Nebraska USA that care about them.
Kahoa kids.....YOU had a very successful year!
