Christmas at Star of Hope Trinidad Preschools

Star of Hope supports two preschools, that Naomi Reid and her family have been running for more than 20 years. Everyday the Reid family gives all they have to these children.  When we heard Naomi wanted to have a Christmas party for the children and planned to get them each a gift , we had to help out. 

With your help, she was able to purchase all of the gifts needed for the children.  I was on the speakerphone when the children were having their Christmas party and heard them laughing and singing.  This was enough reason for me to keep on raising funds for these children through projects like this.  I am very grateful to you for giving to this great need. 

The children and staff of Star of Hope Trinidad and I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your donation this Christmas season.

What a Great Project!

 For the second year the Star of Hope Goats and Chickens “pay it forward” project has been a huge success.  To this moment, there have been 123 Goats and 127 Chickens donated to needy families in Haiti!  There is still time if you would like to get your own goat or chicken.  One year after receiving the goat or chicken, the recipient shall give away one of the offspring to a member of the community that didn't receive an animal.  Goats are $60 and Chickens are $15.  .
