REVERSING THE EFFECTS OF POVERTY

I am honored to partner with Help One Now and their brilliant, passionate leaders around the world. Help One Now partners with local leaders in 7 countries, who are doing remarkable work to serve vulnerable children and families. Together, we walk alongside these leaders in a mutual struggle for progress to help them fulfill their vision and impact their communities.

I was given the opportunity to travel to Haiti this year to work alongside Haitian teachers, I saw classrooms with over 50 students, across all age levels, no materials or resources to engage students, no opportunity for play or to eat lunch. I also saw, passionate, caring, hard-working, funny, tired, overwhelmed, dedicated, compassionate teachers who all were committed to providing an educational opportunity for all students in their community. I left Haiti transformed and committed to working with those teachers and supporting them as they persist through the work they are doing.

I believe EDUCATION is one of the most effective ways to make a LASTING IMPACT, as communities transform from within! And so, I have joined the people of Austin New Church, alongside our partners at Help One Now, are raising funds to support 1 Classroom for the 2017-2018 school year!

$3,000 funds ONE classroom for ONE year!

This support includes: Teacher SALARIES (65%), Teacher TRAINING (7%), Classroom SUPPLIES (8%), and ADMINISTRATION (20%).

What is Help One Classroom?

HELP ONE CLASSROOM, an initiative of Help One Now, is an ongoing campaign to invest in the education of children in Haiti & Uganda. Education transforms communities & breaks the cycle of extreme poverty. And it all starts with TEACHERS. A good teacher makes a world of difference, so we are raising funds for teacher salaries, training and supplies. By ensuring that the teachers can provide for themselves and their families, and equipping them with necessary supplies and training, we enhance the education of thousands of students.

Why Education?

Because, the future of every country, city and community lies in its children. Education saves children’s lives, promotes girl’s and women’s rights, and makes people healthier. Education boosts economic growth, reduces poverty, and increases income.

As education transforms communities and breaks the cycle of extreme poverty, we are bringing opportunity & hope to entire regions!
