3. Volunteer
We need volunteers to help with the upcoming fundraising events. For more info on volunteering at the Fierce & Fancy Formals Dress Sale, and other ideas about how to help, especially if your personal budget is limited, please read this great post on The Haiti Blog.

4. Be a Sponsor
Sponsor a primary school student for $100 a year or a secondary or vocational school student for $200 a year! You can provide books, uniforms, and hot lunches to a Haitian child for a whole year and you will receive a certificate with a photo of the child you sponsor. Your donation is not for administrative fees, 100% of your sponsorship goes to the schools!
 
Start your sponsorship anytime with a secure online PayPal or credit card donation HERE (just click on the blue EDUCATION donation button)...or in person at our annual Student Sponsorship Drive at Sacred Heart Cathedral Feb. 21st and 28th.
