This month is one of the busiest for the Hope for Kidz department here in the US. Hope for Kidz Haiti staff spent the fall and winter traveling to every school to take pictures of the kids, get each of their profiles, and check on the schools. Once that was done, they entered the data and sent the info to Hope for Kidz US where the pictures were printed and put into plastic sleeves. The profiles were printed, matched with the pictures, and boxed up by churches. These boxes of pictures and profiles were then mailed to each C3 partner’s Hope for Kidz coordinator. Included in the boxes are additional resources for the coordinators such as advertising posters, bulletin inserts, videos, and other things to help promote the program. It’s a labor-intensive process, especially when you consider that there are over 3,000 kids in the Hope for Kidz Program.
Once the coordinators receive their boxes, their work will begin in earnest. They will be working to contact the sponsors in their church about renewing their sponsorship (s) for this coming school year. The coordinators will also be recruiting new sponsors for the new kids in the program. These coordinators work tirelessly to make sure all the details are kept straight, contacting sponsors, keeping their churches updated on what is happening in the program, and recruiting new sponsors.
This is where you come in! Once the Hope for Kidz Coordinator gets that box and contacts you, it will be time to renew your sponsorship. “Hope Today for Haiti’s Tomorrow” is indeed what your sponsorship means to these kids. Going to school gives them Hope for their tomorrow. If you don’t yet sponsor a kid - now is the time to start! Contact your church’s Hope for Kidz Coordinator to see what children are available for sponsorship. Or call RMI at 239-368-8390.
