JUNIOR HAITI SHARE
Monthly Talent Shows
Around 200 neighborhood children participate in a monthly talent show. Young adult volunteers from the community help prepare the show, and the children can be found practicing in the back yard of the Haiti Share training center throughout the month.
Annual Bible Day Camp
Every August we welcome over 300 children from the neighborhood to join us for Bible stories, games, songs and snacks. The event is led by a team of volunteers made up of parents and Haiti Share youth.
Annual Christmas Party
The older Junior Haiti Share youth plan the entertainment for the annual Christmas party for around 300 neighborhood children.
Our Sponsored Children
School Sponsorships
In most cases, we partner with parents in paying their child’s tuition in local elementary or secondary schools. The parents provide around half of the cost; our sponsors provide the rest of the cost.
All students who are sponsored in school are enrolled in our Junior Haiti Share Classes. We currently have about 70 children enrolled in Junior Haiti Share who would love to be sponsored!
Special Events
Throughout the year Jr. Haiti Share kids participate in a variety of special events, including spelling and math bees and seminars related to health, hygiene, wellness and study skills.
Children's Sewing Class
Jr. Haiti Share Classes
Saturday Classes
We hold classes each Saturday morning in a variety of subjects.
Academic Classes: English, Computer, Bible and Music
Character Training: Respect, integrity, mental focus, communication skills.
When our Junior Haiti Share children reach high school, they have the privilege of joining the youth leadership classes. Because they have had the Haiti Share values instilled in them every Saturday while they are growing up, they are prime candidates for our young adult college and trade school program.
" (Not) Waiting for School"
When the public schools closed in September due to protests and gang violence in the streets, Bertain and Pastor Wilner took the initiative to offer the “Waiting for School” program to over 100 children and youth in the neighborhood. For eleven weeks our training center was turned into a makeshift school as eight local teachers, aided by several volunteer assistants, taught math, reading, science and social studies classes so that the kids would not lose an entire semester of instruction.
