Where my heart continues to be....

Haiti.
I read John's blog often to stay up to date of the these going on in Haiti. Tonight as I sit thinking about my future career goals and job: I found this...

Less than half of all Haitians can read and write, more than half of the nation's children fail to reach the fifth grade, and only one in five young people reach secondary school, reports Xinhua News Agency (May 20, 1999):

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) provides these figures on Haiti in its report, "The State of the World's Children 1999", the agency's wide-ranging examination of challenges to the right of all children to basic education; According to UNICEF, 58% percent of Haiti's current educational facilities were not built originally to serve as schools. Many classrooms are so overcrowded that only one in four children has a place to sit. And almost two-thirds of all children abandon primary school before completing the six-year course. The vast majority of schools lack trained teachers and less than half the children have access to textbook.
So, as we start to send children back to school, be thankful.
Be thankful they have a chair to sit in.
Be thankful they have the teachers to teach them.
Be thankful for the blessings God blesses us with and maybe one day we can help them!
As I wonder where I'll be teaching, God has put this on my heart, in hopes that one day I will understand his plans!

The average daily wage is $2, and 80 percent of the roughly 8 million people live below the poverty line. Haiti has just three airports with paved runways.

This is an insert from his blog today:

TODAY early this morning Pierre from the Heartline Office left to go to Cite Soleil to pay the registration fee for 46 students. It is seven hours later and he is still not back.

QUESTION: So then John, Heartline has received the support needed to send these children to school? ANSWER: No we have not and I'm not sure when we will reach our goal of having the money to sponsor 50 children, but we are moving forward and will believe God that He will touch the hearts of those who value education and have a heart for those who couldn't possibly attend school with out help.

Please pray for Heartline and that they reach their goal to send those children to school!

Maybe we can help! :)
