Eliezaire's story....

Everyone has a story; this is Eliezaire's story...

Today is Eliezaire's birthday;  today he is 8 years old.  Like most 8 year old boys Eliezaire likes playing soccer, riding a bike and playing games.

He lives in Port-au-prince, Haiti with his mother and one other sibling.  Typical houses in Eliezaire's community are constructed of cement floors, brick walls and corrugated iron roofs.

Eliezaire's mother sometimes works as a trader at the local market.  Most adults in his community are unemployed or underemployed earning as little as $US31 per month.  Due to his mother's low income Eliezaire's family struggles to survive. 

Eliezaire has begun attending a Compassion Development Centre in Port-au-prince and needs a sponsor.  Sponsorship will provide Eliezaire with education, schoolbooks, uniform, health and hygiene education, medical examinations, recreational activities and Bible teaching.  

To add to this, sponsorship will provide Eliezaire with HOPE for the future as well as a letter-writing relationship with someone who cares enough to invest in his future!  With your words you can encourage someone to dream and develop their God-given gifts; you can express that you care!

For just $11 a week (or the equivalent of 3 coffees) you can help Eliezaire receive what he needs to break the cycle of poverty.  

Please let me know if you can help; I can't think of a better birthday gift for Eliezaire!!

p.s.- I have until the 31st August to find a sponsor for Eliezaire (after this date he will be added to a priority list of children waiting for a long while to be sponsored).
