Dear Friends, Sponsors, and Supporters of Life Connection Mission:
SPONSORS NEEDED: The best way for our school to grow is to find sponsors for all the children in the area of our school who want to attend.
We currently know of over 100 children in desperate need of a sponsor. In order to be as successful as possible at completing our mission,
all of us need to challenge ourselves to try and get new sponsors. All current sponsors have clearly demonstrated a personal commitment.
We all need to go the “extra mile” to recruit new sponsors. Anyone who has sponsored a child knows, first-hand, the warm feelings that come from helping a disadvantaged child.
Share that gift with a friend. If you know someone else who is interested in sponsorship, please send us the enclosed sponsorship form and we will get you a picture and
information about that child right away.WHERE YOUR SPONSPORSHIP MONEY GOES: Your sponsored child receives full tuition, two uniforms, textbooks, school supplies, a nutritious meal, every school day (sometimes their only meal of the day), and medical treatment. All money collected from sponsorship is used for the direct benefit of the children. No board member is paid for their time or personal expenses. SPECIAL PRAYER: Senyè, Si n'ap viv jodi a malgre siklòn, grangou, ak maladi, nou dwe di, "Mèsi, Senyè. Nou genlè la pou yon bi." Translated: “Lord, if we are alive today in spite of hurricanes, hunger, and sickness, we should say, ‘Thank you, Lord. We must be here for a purpose.’" COME TO HAITI: We would love to host you if you want to come to Haiti. You can visit your sponsored child, help at the school, assist in medical clinics, minister in the community, or any other project you are interested in. Airfare to Haiti is very reasonable and the cost per day for transportation, meals, and lodging while in Haiti is only $45 a day. We welcome groups up to 30 people. Both traditional Haitian and American meals are prepared for our guests.  
MEDICAL DOCTORS / HEALTH PROFESSIONALS: We are happy to assist any medical teams, doctors or other health professionals that would like to come to Haiti.NEWSLETTER/MAILING EXPENSE: We need to keep overhead expenses down. We can do this, in part, by using plain paper for all correspondence. We would also like to e-mail newsletters, to those with internet access, to cut unnecessary postal expenses. If you would like to receive your newsletter by e-mail, please send your e-mail address to: kathleen@lifeconnectionmission.org. GET INVOLVED: If you are involved in an organization or church group that might be interested in joining this effort, please contact Dale at 301-370-6426 or email him at dale@lifeconnectionmission.org or call Diane at 660-359-5682 or email her at diane@lifeconnectionmission.org.
