DESCRIPTION
The fifth grade Kids Care Club has developed a personal connection by adopting a school in Haiti: Dumarsais estime de Port au Ceil. Through project Operation Water Well, Sope Creek will be able to bring running water to this school. The water crisis in Haiti was worsened by the recent earthquake and Sope Creek students want to help.Sope Creek Elementary is partnering with H2O for Life (www.h2oforlifeschools.org) to help make this possible. Every penny raised by our students will be matched by Save the Children and 100% of the money we collect will go directly to digging a well at our adopted school.The Kids Care Club will be collecting donations on March 3, 4, & 5. Parents can make tax-deductible donations by writing a check directly to H2O for Life Schools, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

SCHOOLIN HAITI
Did you know?
In Haiti, families travel far to gather water several
times a day
To transport water they use bikes, animals, and
their backs!
Access to clean water was a problem in Haiti even before the devastating January 12, 2010
earthquake.
Since the earthquake, thousands of people from the capital Port au Prince are moving into the countryside looking for a new
place to live, and they need access to water too!
The Kids Care Club wants to
HELP
by raising money to dig a well at a school in the countryside.
Our adopted school: Dumarsais estime de Port au Ceil
The school has grades kindergarten-8th grade. After 8th grade, most students do
not attend school.
Here is a classroom
And a class of older students
This is where students eat lunch
They do not have bathrooms, but the money we raise will help to build them
Wells provide clean water
And, the funds we raise will dig a well to provide drinking water
We have several other partner schools in the United States:
• Douglas Middle School, WY
• Bensonhurst Youth Ministry, NY
• Idabel High School, OK
• Allen High School, TX
The money we all collect will be matched by SAVE the Children, and the well will be built this year!
Teachers, please teach your students about this need
• Show your students our power point on the Sope Creek blog
• Water jugs are available in the teacher’s lounge if you would like your class to experience what a student in Haiti does every day
• Stop to look at our bulletin board about Haiti and the need for clean water there
• Look for our news reports on SCNN
• Point out the signs we hang on water fountains and in the bathrooms at Sope Creek
And please support our money collection
March 3, 4, and 5!
We will collect donations from students in the hallways before school each morning.
The grade level that raises the most money will receive an outdoor recess and ice cream
party.
Sope Creek students can
make a difference!
Merci!Merci means “thank you” in French. Creole French is the
language of Haiti. Merci – and thank you – for your support.
