Support Kids In Haiti

I have been a great friend with Kanoa for a handful of years now, we’ve had the opportunity to go down to Mexico and do humanitarian work by helping build up and repair the local infrastructure. Kanoa is an up and coming photographer with a similar heart for people and investing into the lives of people. He has recently had the opportunity to serve and support people in Africa, Brazil, and Mexico, and is currently seeking to bring humanitarian aid to The Lord’s Table Church and School in Port-Au-Prince in Haiti, which is right in the middle of the devastation of the earthquake.

I allowed him to write a guest post below in hopes of having some of you donate (Tax Deductible) to support the cause and raise as much as possible for these children.

Kanoa’s Message:

I just wanted you all to be the first to know that I have been given a unique opportunity to do humanitarian work in Haiti! I plan on heading out on October 21-25th. There, we will be working with The Lord’s Table Church and School right in the region of where this disaster started, in Port-au-Prince. I have recently been taking a handful of Early Childhood Education classes and look forward to applying my skills to help aid in any way that I can in this time of a humanitarian crisis. I will also be photo-journaling the entire experience and posting it on my site. In the near future, I hope to be able to respond in these situations more often as well as document all of my future endeavors.

“So that’s great Kanoa! But how does this apply to me?”

Well you know how you have seen those infomercials or video clips where you are asked to help out, well here’s your chance! You have the chance to Directly affect people’s lives in Haiti! I am asking for any support I can get financially.

I truly believe that for every single dollar donated, is one child you could aid (and the great part is I’m not asking for a recurring fee, but whatever you can give.) I have been messaging other organizations that will be able to send in supplies to this school.

I realized that if I just brought in food they would still be hungry, but if we can give a person an education then they can be raised up to be the leaders of tomorrow. This is a huge vision, and huge visions can sometimes spell M-O-N-E-Y. I don’t want to pressure or guilt anyone into feeling compelled to give, but I know this will be a unique opportunity to help me get there, where I am confident that every dollar will be used to rebuild the broken down school, as well as give the child an opportunity to change their life for the better. I have already sent out messages to thousands of people in my community and have had a great response.
