Vacation Bible School gives children food, fun and craft time while they learn the Good News of God's love. Hand to Hand for Haiti missionaries train teachers in a different location each summer, and the trainees will lead the program in their town the next year. Hand to Hand for Haiti provides food for hundreds of children.
It is important to serve food at mission events, especially for children who come to learn and play. Hand to Hand for Haiti supplies the food and water for VBS and other activities. Your gifts can help us serve more children.
Vacation Bible School teachers who are also Haitian schoolteachers benefit beyond these few days from their training. Teacher education is lacking in Haiti. Some have reported that they are using new-found skills in the regular classroom.
200 children had signed up for the VBS as of 2 weeks before. A week before, 300 were expected. Over 600 attended. Classes were reconfigured and plans changed to accommodate the turnout.
Teachers enjoy a meal and fellowship. Hand to Hand for Haiti Micheline Michel led their training.
