The one page stories trilogy comes to an end with ‘Justice’. Hope you’ve been enjoying them. The next and final story will be a 6 page story called ‘My Life in Haiti’, written by Auguste Abel, the director of education at the foundation in Haiti. Due to my day job and all the work I have to do, it won’t be ready for next Tuesday, ‘My Life in Haiti’ will start next Thursday. Thank you to all who have supported my fundraising effort so far.
$2,086.74 has been raised to date. Thank you!

About this Fundraiser
Hi, my name is Daniel Lafrance and I made these stories to raise funds for the Starthrower Foundation in Haiti to sponsor young Haitians adults for high school education.
It cost the Starthrower Foundation around $600 to sponsor one Haitian to go to high school for a year. This includes school fees, school supplies, uniforms including shoes, socks, underwear, transportation if necessary,tutoring, drop in centre, hygiene products, medical and dental support, potable water and when available food sacks.
I'm also trying to raise awareness of the great work the Starthrower Foundation is doing in Haiti. I was drawn to them because of the philosophy behind their actions - they seek SOCIAL JUSTICE, not just charity. They are a small foundation with no big money sponsors and they rely on donations from people like you and me to make a real difference in the lives of the people they serve. They provide financial support for more than a hundred Haitians who want an education. Due to limited funds however, they cannot provide sponsorship for education to all who come.

So true, Daniel!
EG We are conditioned to give our castoffs to charity – things we consider trash. Yet we do this with the vague idea that some ephemeral ‘poor’ somewhere in the world will be delighted with it, and that somehow a ravelled, faded sweater or threadbare tshirt will make a huge difference in someone’s life.

Hi Karen, I think I know what you are saying, but I’m not sure if that’s totally true though…
