HELP US SEND A CHILD TO SCHOOL THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR (2010-2011)

KINDNESS
Send A Child To School Today

KINDNESS, a ministry of our church geared towards helping kids of poor families finish their education, is looking for Foster Parents for about 100 of our children who will assist them achieve their dream of finishing their elementary and high school education (with a possibility of a College Education for those who deserve it).

These children belong to very poor families that earn between $2-$3 a day (some even less). Many of these children are bright and intelligent but their families, which can be as big as to include 4-6 siblings, cannot afford to maintain their education or educational needs. Although our country has a free-elementary and high school educational program the miscellaneous is not free and so is their daily maintenance (food, fare, ect.) and other school requirements (like uniforms, shoes, projects, etc.).
